Issue/Bug Description: Mouse looses events randomly...

I click on occasion and the mouse event is 'lost' to the system. Sometimes I am slow and click and then click again.. I catch the issue every now and then but I cannot replicate it in any meaningful way. However, that's not to say this is not a real issue. This is a multi boot machine and the hardware is fine.. so it has to be in the pop-ubuntu-system

In short, randomly mouse clicks don't register, not always, but sometimes. A click here or there is lost. I think others may be seeing the same thing but it's a guess. I'd say it happens at least a few times an hour when working actively.

It's very noticeable when I click into a window and notice it doesn't highlight, then I click again and yet a third time.

The problem is sometime I click to activate and window, 'I am certian I clicked to activate the window under the mouse' and start to type... well the typing goes into a some other window which is sorta lost in the moment, but... I find those lost mouse/key events after I run a build on a project and finding those characters crashing a build. This only happens when the pop system is running. I don't have this issue on windows when it's running and I use both quite equally on the same hardware.

I am posting this hoping others may notice the same thing and can chime in and confirm.

I have been using these systems for over 40 years and this not my imagination :) I am thinking it's a random bug in the window focus management system.

Steps to reproduce (if you know):

@BTBlueSkies Does the mouse cursor become slow?

BTBlueSkies commented 4 years ago

No, It behaves normally. The mouse is quick and responsive.. and the (side note) jitter that I was noticing in 19.10 was resolved with 20.04

@BTBlueSkies I was also facing something similar after the update. But, following a article resolved it. https://github.com/pop-os/default-settings/issues/85
