Sometimes when you Tab into mouse control mode, it will not move any controls.
It seems to happen at random and go away at random after clicking around and retrying Tab.

I've been trying to reproduce this by Tabbing 100+ times, moving the mouse in and out of the window without luck. Unless we get a reproducible case for this bug I don't think there is much we can do about it.

As usual with such regressions, most useful is to know the week or day or ideally commit when it started happening. If you can narrow it down at all, it would be a big help.

Maybe check for a 'sticky' Alt key: for a long time ( ~2010 ) since I use Alt-Shift for slewing the viewing it's necessary to sometimes hit Alt gain after releasing Alt-Shift, otherwise keyboard, joystick ( and possibly mouse ? ) appear non-responsive.

Holding Alt does not seem to block the control, but Shift does (at least in UFO). So maybe stuck Shift?
OTOH I noticed that it usually occurs after using a PUI dialog. Sometimes just spawning the dialog is enough to block mouse control, but sometimes you have to touch something in the dialog to make it happen, but most of the time mouse control still works.

Actually, all modifiers: Control, Shift or Alt seem to block it.

Confirmed, noticed that happening in a build from this week.
Is this similar to #2457 or are they completely unrelated?

Probably not, since Tab is still working, just the mouse is not catching on.
