Mouse buttons don't work on second display

[Andrew Vian]

I am running Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS with the 4.8.0-52-generic kernel. The computer is a MacBook Pro 10,1. I am using the proprietary Nvidia display driver 375.66. I have encountered a new bug multiple times today, that I have never seen before. I would guess this is an xorg problem, but nothing has been changed there to cause this bug to appear today.

Expected Behavior: Mouse pointer properly interacts with all open windows and UI buttons on both monitors.

Problem Behavior: Mouse works properly for interactions on monitor 1. Mouse pointer moves properly on monitor 2, but mouse buttons have no impact on anything when the pointer is on the second monitor. Windows functioning properly on display 1 fail to respond to mouse buttons when moved to display 2. When a window is partially displayed on both monitors, the mouse works properly for the part of the window shown on monitor 1, but does not work for the part of the window shown on monitor 2.

This behavior only began today, which is odd because the only software changes today were updates to iproute2:amd64 and libjasper1:amd64. This issue remains following a reboot, and impacts the second monitor for all workspaces. I had upgraded packages yesterday and had no problems then, just problems follwing the upgrade today.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) reached end-of-standard-support on April 29, 2021.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported when using a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.

I'm closing this issue earlier than normal as I'm moving away from reviewing bug reports that have received little or no attention in recent times and there have been no comments to suggest that the reported problem is still an issue when using a currently supported release of Ubuntu.

Please feel to revert the status of this bug report to a previous status if this is still an issue while using a currently supported release of Ubuntu.
