[SOLVED] GNOME:Can't select anything in Activities Overview or Top Bar

wilberfan · 2019-10-28 02:50:05

Following an -Syu update tonight, I can no longer select by clicking anything in Activities Overview or the Top Bar using the mouse/cursor. Can enter overview state with Super Key or positioning cursor in upper-left corner--but then nothing responds to mouse-clicks. The Top Bar is unresponsive to clicks whether in overview mode or not...

Zero information here. You should know better. What you updated "tonight" is meaningless. Post actual versions of packages, if not your log.

Sorry for so little info, but it's been forever since I've had to debug anything, so I'm kind of in over my head here. Here's the pacman.log. If you've got the patience, I'll try and post anything you think would be helpful.

The issue was resolved when I uninstalled opera-beta.
