Mouse stopped working on my laptop screen

[Renata K]

I can only hoover around my laptop screen, I can use the sidebar and external laptop. So far i haven't found a reasonable solution. Turning off laptop monitor just moved the problem to external monitor. I have Lenovo E470 with NVIDIA and i7, I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 lts

You reported the issue against gnome-shell, did you install GNOME or do you use the default desktop which is Unity?
