OK, new facts..!
---------------------

There's definitely something going on with the panel.

Peek desktop, temporarily helps, but when not peeking, issues are back.
Right clicking the panel and opening and closing "Show Panel Settings, 
fiixes the issues (also for panel auto hide and panel dodge windows 
mode) until the next reboot.

SO I dove in deeper a little bit...
I only had one panel sitting at the bottom. So I deleted the current 
panel and created a new default panel. After a reboot I had no right 
click or selecting issues on the desktop.
Further testing revealed that when I have the panel set as "dodge 
windows" (my preference) or "hide", the reported  issues with mouse 
interactions on the desktop were back.

I don't know why or how, but somehow having the panel set as "auto hide" 
or "dodge windows" creates the issue (after next reboot).

Hoping for a real fix, since I really like the panel in dodge windows mode.

Thanks,
Will
