When cursor cloning is enabled on gnome-shell 46, some very strange behaviour is exhibited w.r.t. resizing and moving windows. When the user attempts to resize a window, the "resize" cursor is frozen on screen, and the window does not actually begin to follow the cursor in getting resized. To get out of this state, "ESC" helps, but afterwards clicking on different windows to switch focus does not seem to work, and clicking on areas such as the "quick settings" bar does not work either. Disabling and re-enabling the extension appears to fix these issues until another resize is attempted.
Given that this problem is related to cursor cloning, there may be other other ways to trigger this or similar buggy behaviour.
