Mouse buttons disabled after picking up item

Alternate titles:

• Can't use skills after picking up item.
• Skill on mouse button doesn't work...sometimes.
• Character won't move.
• PoE ignores mouse input.
• Mousedown *sometimes* ignored by PoE after clicking on world objects/items

Summary:
*Sometimes* PoE will ignore a held mouse button if the mousedown 'event' occurred shortly after the player clicked on a world object (like a chest or items). This often leaves the character standing unresponsive until the player releases then re-clicks/holds the mouse button or uses some other button/skill.

The following steps explain what mouse actions I'm performing in the videos:
• Holding RMB (Cyclone)
• Release RMB
• Click LMB on an item
• Very quickly go back to holding RMB
• Repeat

Most of the time this allows me to pick up the target item and continue channeling, however at the end of these videos my character doesn't go back to channeling despite RMB being held down. I've also had this occur with LMB and trying to walk (ie: not a channeling issue).

This was somewhat difficult to generate for a capture but it does happen frequently (a few times per map) in practice. I've been noticing it for the past few leagues at least (> 1 year? idk).

Links to unacknowledged reports of active bugs (that I've tested). Many are minor, a few are not:

• Energy Shield doesn't (always) provide 50% chance to ignore stuns.
• [UI] First stash tab disappears from list.
• [UI] Stash text doesn't resize on resolution change.
• [Website][Trade] 'Whisper' message includes unique name for unidentified uniques. "This is intended" broken interaction between two GGG-controlled systems. The inter-system interaction is still broken (intended or not) so I've left it here.
• [Game Mechanic][Build Disabling] Blazing Salvo's hidden (ie: undocumented) 'minimum travel distance' makes it nearly useless with Arcanist Brand
• [UI?] Skills don't work when mouse cursor is at the far-upper edges of HD or higher ratio screens
• [Game Mechanic][Lethal] (Ranged) Blight monsters occupy the same physical space (ie: 'stack up').
• [Website] 'Down For Maintenance' notification links to self Topic was moved to the 'Feedback and Trash' forum without comment but the issue still exists nearly every maintenance.

Just one things, didn't read the whole thread

Leap Slam stuns only every other *attack* against full-life enemies with Energy Shield.

This is a mechanic of energy shield, when you (and monsters) have ES, there is a 50% chance to ignore stuns (still stunned, just no effect, used to play CWS CI builds and it's pretty obvious that you are not affected by stun, but some spells trigger)

Be sure to check out the video in that thread. The stun doesn't occur when the target avoids it (thus it appears to be 'avoid' not 'ignore') and the target fails to avoid the stun every hit if the attacker alternates attacks between the target and anywhere else.

Edit: Post from Mark regarding ES providing chance to ignore rather than avoid stuns. So the 'miss' in my testing appears to be something other than ES' built-in stun ignore mechanic, or maybe that mechanic is just going wonky.

This still occurs in 3.16.

• Walking along (LMB down).
• Pickup an item.
• Immediately return to LMB down.
• Character doesn't move.

I managed to record a video of this while showing input in the video capture:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7Yr55VcOSI

The video shows the same input sequence successfully pick up two items while allowing immediate return to using skills but then 'lock up' on the third item and disable/ignore RMB until it's released.

Please let me know if more recordings would help.

This is happening to me quite frequently in the week-long events with "move only" and golem skills assigned to the left mouse button.
