If it gets stuck in most programs (for example Chrome, VSCode), I can resolve it by pressing Esc. It frequently causes some text drops, for example on the desktop. This is an annoying issue.
But it's a different story when it happens on the panel (where the menu button and the program icons are). I click some application icon, the cursor gets stuck in the drag mode (showing something like an X cursor). I click Esc, and it returns the cursor to the normal mode. However after this the cursor no longer functions. I can still press the dashboard key (Win key) and it opens the menu, and I can type and select programs, I think I can even launch programs. However, I cannot click any application with the cursor, I cannot use Alt-Tab, and I think I can only type inside the menu.
This started happening not too long ago, maybe a month or two ago, and it happens frequently.

Why is this happening, and am I the only one affected by this bug, and how do i resolve this?
