           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing

  Target Milestone: ---

After switching virtual desktops through the pager, it seems the system sends a
wrong mouse signal which causes this bug:

>From the comment there:
"This was a fun one, after many days using a surface book instead of my
workstation I was able to reproduce this. Turns out gtk/X/linux gets into a
state where it thinks a mouse button is being held down. Sublime Text does not
allow you to scroll (along other things) when a mouse button "modifier" is
being pressed, while most other applications don't care. This explains why it
persists across Sublime Text and Merge even through application restarts.

You should be able to confirm this using xev by looking at the modifiers. As a
work around for this we'll be ignoring mouse button 1 as a modifier in the
future for linux."

The issue then goes away after switching to a different application.
