This has confirmed recently, and seem to be specific to newer versions
of Ubuntu and its libraries. The root cause hasn't been determined. I do
know that the keyboard continues to function (as you noted Tab still
works). It is mouse input (clicking) that doesn't function. I noticed
that you can get the mouse to start working again if you tab so the
highlight appears around the box (above the move list) that says what
game you are looking at (ie "Game 1: 0,0" ). Once that box is
highlighted you can hit the space bar and then enter. For me this gets
the mouse going again without killing the application.

The bug is very reproducible. At any point if you click on a position
that has been previously analyzed in the move list, this will cause the
mouse to stop responding.

The bug is in bug tracker as: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?34864
