Bug Description

When I Show the Desktop (no other Windows should be open), I can click somewhere and move the pointer still holing the left button down. This creates a rect to slect multiple items on the Desktop.

The Issue always happen when I do the followng:
1) Draw the Rect (you must select one item on the desktop at least)
2) Click the "Context-Menu-Button" on a Keyboard, still holding the left key.
3) Optional: Resize the Rect.
4) Release the left mouse-button and click.

Now the Rect is drawn permanantly. Moreover, I can draw more selction-rects using this way.
An other issue is that I can not move Items on the Desktop.

Opening and Closing other Windows does not cahnge anything. The same problem is also on every Desktop.

In the Attachment i included a Video of the issue.
