Public bug reported:
I'm using Shotwell to Publish (ctrl+shift+P) photos to Flickr. Some of
these uploads take quite a while, so I'd like to do other things while
they're running. If I alt-tab over to Firefox or Slack or whatever, my
mouse works normally, but if I alt-tab back to Shotwell to peek if the
upload has completed yet, and then alt-tab over to another app again,
now my mouse doesn't work.
Pointer moves, yes. Doesn't produce mouse-over events, doesn't click,
doesn't scroll.
As soon as the upload completes in Shotwell, the mouse works normally
again.
I popped into freenode/#ubuntu IRC and they suggested trying Wayland.
This behavior does not occur in Wayland, so it was suggested that I
report it here under xorg. I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
