Mouse click not functioning in some areas

Ask Fedora
1

Hi,

fedora 42 here, up to date.

the mouse click “sometimes” stop working here:

  • in the Firefox tabs managing (cannot close or move navigation tabs, clicks not detected).
  • Godot 4 tabs managing (clicks not detected on them) and viewport (is unresponsive to all clicks (left, right or center).

During this events:

  • the mouse is always moving correctly .
  • all the clicks are functioning in the other areas of the above mentioned softwares.

The system resources looks fine also, I suspected a freeze but It doesn’t look like.

when I do this:
sudo libinput debug-events

The mouse is correctly detected and actually all the clicks start working again in all the above mentioned apps.

Isn’t this weird?

Edit: I’m using fedora from 2 moths, all this started randomly like a week ago.

If you use Gnome, it is a bug in mutter, there’s more details here:

Otherwise, not sure. I’m affected by the same issue on KDE
