I had a similar behavior when I changed my HDD and installed a fast SSD for Xubuntu 16.04. I can use buttons, and dropdowns with no issues. It happens with unity and webkit greeters. Seems you need to wait at least 10-15 seconds before all the services are effectively up and running. Nothing suspicious on logs.
