If your mouse is getting stuck also, then that wouldn't be a web browser
bug. More likely a shell bug, maybe bug 1690719.
What kind of mouse are you using? USB? Wireless?

Title:
Due to inactivity chrome video playback stuck (mouse also for a second
or two)
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Although there is a lot of chromium bug related to video playback, my
issues seem to be related to the power management. (AMD M260 Topaz,
HD5500) - USB mouse.
I have disabled the diming / screen saver.
I have set up GPU usage on chrome dev version. (M70 is not able to use
the linux GPU built in drivers)
I'm using usb tethering from Xperia as the wifi connection dies
periodically and it seems to make chrome tab unresponsive, even if
kept refreshing.
I have a feeling similar issues happening on full-screen video
playback. So the root cause is the same.
Even if I set Xperia to wifi always on the ubuntu disconnecting from
the device less frequently why I'm playing video in full-screen mode.
Some flickering issue happens on non-full screen mode, but less
frequently, and it's stable for half hour after the restart, but
suddenly goes like crazy.
I have tested lots of combinations, for example when mesa was not
installed and my amd card was not even visible. (HD5500 does not have
h264 hardware acceleration, amd m260 has, and on dev version it was
really visible, that cpu usage was going down from 30% to under 10%)
Some video needs more juice like 60-70%, but it does not really
matter. Sometimes is very stable, sometimes not.
The problem less frequently happens on firefox, even if the CPU is
hitting 80% mark.
