Scroll wheel stops working after virtual desktop switch

#1

On build 3200 and 3207 the scroll wheel stops working for after I switch to another desktop then back again. I had no problem with 3157 and previous builds.

To repro:

  1. Be on a desktop with sublime text foreground. Use the scroll wheel to verify it’s working
  2. Switch to another desktop
  3. Switch back to the original desktop
  4. Click on the Sublime Window and try to use the scroll wheel - it no longer works in the editor windows, sidebar or console
  5. Move the mouse over a word to bring up definitions. Note that the scroll bar works here.
  6. Switch desktop again. Click on Sublime and use the scroll wheel - it now works.
  7. Switch back to original desktop. Scroll wheel now works.

This is on Centos 7.2 running KDE plasma.

Many thanks for the link. export GDK_CORE_DEVICE_EVENTS=1 seems to work around the issue.
