Bug Description
I was occasionally noticing stuck drag operations (e.g. window resizing, or scrolling the settings app) on my ThinkPad laptop using Unity 8, and finally managed to work out how to reliably reproduce it.
1. Ensure you've got two mouse-like devices attached to the system. On my laptop I was using the track pad and track point.
2. With one device press the left button and start resizing a window (or some other drag operation).
3. Press and release the left button on the second mouse device
4. Release the left button on the first mouse device.
The drag operation will continue even though no buttons are pressed. The drag can be ended pressing and releasing the left button on the second mouse. Doing the same with the mouse that initiated the drag doesn't seem to end it.
