Hi,

I am using 4.0rc3 updated from testing on T470 (and a few of friends
in different models) having an issue of using mouse on any external
display. We can click on the top menubar of any application, but can
not use the mouse else where in the application (in any application).
If we move a terminal there, we can type or move between tabs using
Keyboard. But, can not use the mouse.

Wondering if anyone else saw the similar issue?

I suspect everything works after a full Qubes system restart? or is it permanently not working even after a restart? I have similar issues, but it's usually only happening to me when I leave my Qubes running for too long connected to a HDMI TV, or if the HDMI TV goes sleep mode on its own while Qubes is running, or if Qubes itself goes suspend/hibernate.

Everything is dodgy after returning from suspend/hibernate. Recently after newer updates (using current-testing updates here) it was enough to just restart the VM's though.
