Public bug reported: Gnome Shell stops accepting mouse input from time to time, and when it does I run "gnome-shell --replace" to get mouse control back. After running this command, I can't log in because it's as if the ENTER key is pressed every half second on the login screen. The lock screen tells me that I typed in the wrong password and clears the password input. I can't type my password in half a second.
I can workaround this by bug pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 which makes the lock screen's password input form stop clearing its input. This isn't the ideal workflow though because I have workarounds on workarounds.
