Description Petr Schindler 2016-09-08 07:36:45 UTC
Description of problem:
On Fedora 25 it happened few times to me that mouse input stopped working. But just within applications (no matter if XWayland or Wayland). I could use gnome-shell - everything works with shell, clicking on menus, Activities, even switching between apps by clicking on app. But inside applications no mouse input work, I couldn't click on buttons, select text, nothing. Keyboard still worked fine.

I found out that if I close the application and open it again (at least from overview) mouse starts to work properly in that application.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-3.21.90.1-1.fc25.x86_64
mutter-3.21.90-2.fc25.x86_64

How reproducible:
It happened two times in a week so far
