Thanks for the report. The bug you linked though seems different. It
deals with mouse focus, unresponsive buttons to mouse clicks, etc.
On the other hand, the issue encountered by people on this thread is
about not being able to drag and drop (layers, channels, and such)
within GIMP anymore. Which one was yours? Unresponsive mouse clicks?
Broken drag and drop? Both?

In any case, if it turns out to be the same issue as others here
(broken drag and drop on both GIMP and Inkscape), that's very useful
information. It means the bug is likely in GTK+.

This AutoHotkey stuff is apparently Free Software, so that's good
news. It may help us investigate by seeing what it does.
I'll still wait for you confirming that's the same drag'n drop issue
first, because acknowledging this information though. I don't want to
go on a wild-goose chase.
Thanks!
