Just got this when dragging a file from file-roller to a nautilus window
on Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit. Nautilus would scroll its window up and down in
response to the vertical position of the mouse pointer, but no button
events appeared to take effect in any application. Had to Alt-F2 and
pkill file-roller to get control back.

It's unlikely to be a fault in a specific application, more likely a
flaw in the desktop inter-process signalling system, for which there are
several bugs open. It's difficult to pin down though as it seems hard to
produce a useful test case for this intermittent problem - I'm a regular
Ubuntu user and this occurs very rarely (in my experience so far).
