Since the last week the computer has gone into a mode where the taskbar and window interaction icons cannot be clicked.
Chrome tabs cannot be interacted with. Keyboard navigation works. The Mouse doesn't seem to have anything to do with it-- neither external mouse nor touchpad work, and the mouse is the same one I've been using since I got the computer last year.
