Comment 64 for bug 1159707

This started happening today with Mint 18.2 Cinnamon 3.4.6

All of a sudden my mouse cursor is only active in my terminal window. I can move the mouse across all my screens but click actions are only active inside the single terminal window....This has happened 4 times today and every time its the terminal window where the mouse is active.

Alt+F "r" OR CTL + Alt + F1 then F7 fixes the problem but it eventually comes back. I have not yet noticed a pattern behind it
