Somewhat similarly, I found that, on a laptop with no external input device (only the touchpad), the file menu would not drop down from the toolbar, though all the other menus did. Odd. It lasted about a minute. Gimp 2.8 on Mint 18 x64.

When using gimp, I find that drawing with extended input devices causes all UI interaction outside of the drawing area to stop. For example, I can not click on menus, toolbox, etc. No other programs are affected, and I can usually restore UI interaction by switching the active window (specifically, clicking the title bar on the image window and then the toolbox window restores interaction. I do not have this problem when using the mouse, only the tablet pen. Here is an exact sequence that produces this result: - start gimp, create new image - select paintbrush tool - draw in image - now I can no longer click on menus or toolboxes (although they do respond to the mouse pointer rollover w/hilighting, tooltips, etc) - click the image window title bar (focus switches from toolbox to image window) - now I can interact with menus and toolbox again - repeat!
