Public bug reported:
Every so often, typically when I'm using Thunderbird, I attempt to use
GDM to create a new window or something like that, and the "New Window"
popup comes up, but does not work. Attempts to click on it have no
effect. I cannot make the popup go away, other than by logging out and
logging back in again (or rebooting).
I did not observe this problem until I installed Ubuntu 21.04, so I
expect it's a glitch that is new to this release.
See attached screenshot for an example of the popup that won't go away.
