Public bug reported:
Under GNOME 3, the use of the mouse-click stops occasionally, though I
can still move the mouse around and can still click on items in the
Activities screen and the top-bar.
I can use alt-tab to cycle windows and can still type into already-
active textboxes in windows, but I cannot click within the windows, and
the mouse is not picked up at all by the windows.
I can open the alt-f2 "run command" dialogue, but cannot type into it.
The workaround I'm using is to open terminal (ctrl-alt-T) and run
"gnome-shell -r", and restarting that command every time I have the
problem again.
Please ask if there's anything I forgot to mention.
ADDITIONAL: The error tends to happen randomly, but it seems to happen
upon opening a new window, changing windows, closing windows, or opening
the activities pane (whether a change of window is thus instigated or
not)
ADDITIONAL 2: (sorry, it's early) The other workaround is to log out and
to log in again, but that is also less than ideal
