Comment 38 for bug 1725384

I am affected by the same bug. Some extra information:
 - tapping definitely does something, as brief animation can be seen (icons flying away and back from button)
 - Sometimes tapping on icons switches on drag and drop mode (and stays like that), even though tap itself was short
 - I have tried cinnamon desktop (mint), and there was similar problem. Although mint menu would show, it was completely unresponsive. Unlike using mouse or touchpad.
