Comment 0 for bug 1181666

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 to help with.
