I don't think it has been *completely* fixed.

GNOME Shell notifications still freeze the mouse cursor, tooltips inside the GNOME Shell (on Dash Icons) still do the same, and GNOME Shell Menus too.

What was fixed is issues with GTK3 (hovering on icons that produce tooltips, or merely opening a GTK menu in LibreOffice ... etc) that was also freezing the UI and the mouse cursor.
