Some widgets don't respond to mouse click, while others do. For example, right after boot in gdm3, I can click on my username (to login) or change the volume, but I can't click on the power widget.
Similarly, once logged in (either to Cinnamon or i3-gaps), if I open a terminal, none of the text responds to double-clicks; though I can click and drag to select text.
In Cinnamon, I can't drag windows around the screen.
In Chromium, occasionally, a tab gets into a state where if I click anywhere in the window, it resets the position on the page or goes foward in that tab's history.
I suspect these problems are all related since they all involve clicking. The problem started about a week ago, and I can't think of what might have changed. Is there a logfile, configuration file, or utility I should be looking at?
The problem persists across upgrades, including kernel updates.
Update: A different mouse appears to work for all UI elements. It sounds like a driver issue. Does this seem like reasonable analysis? The problematic mouse is the Logitech MX Vertical.
