Suspend button does not respond to mouse click, only touchcreen

[Chris Halse Rogers]

So, this is pretty weird.

In the Shell quick settings panel (the one accessed by clicking on the wifi/bluetooth/sound/battery part of the top bar), in the Shutdown submenu, the "Suspend" button - and *only* the Suspend button - does not respond to mouse clicks. I cannot use it to suspend the system with either the touchpad or an external mouse.

The other buttons in that menu respond to mouse clicks, and the Suspend button responds when I use the touchscreen to tap it.

I've attached a screencast in an attempt to demonstrate this (although it obviously doesn't show when I'm actually clicking the mouse).

This behaviour has been going on for a while, at least the whole Mantic cycle, but maybe longer.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

I don't have mantic handy, but it's almost the same gnome-shell version as in noble. And in noble the bug doesn't happen here.

I also don't see any upstream bug reports about this so maybe it's time to report it there:
