The Settings windows will not respond to mouse click after performing some specific touchscreen operations within it

[Yujin.Wu]

[Summary]
If we do some specific opration in the setting dialog by touchscreen, for example: use touchsreen to select Settings->Power->Power Saving->Screen Blank->10 minutes(or other time), the settings windows will stop responding to any other mouse opration, no matter touchpad, trackpoint or any other mouse.

Some gnome-shell errors could be found in kernel log:

A new finding: This issue can be consistently reproduced by using the touchscreen to select the dropdown menu of any window，for example: the "view options" in the nautilus.
