Browser sometimes becomes unclickable

Browser Support
1

Description of the issue:
Sometimes, Brave (tabs, address bar, website contents) becomes unclickable without freezing. Videos play just fine, for example, but you can’t click on anything anymore.

Steps to Reproduce:
The most reliable way to reproduce the issue for me has been:

  1. Open Brave and navigate to https://drive.google.com/drive/
  2. Drag and drop a file from the file explorer onto the Google Drive page.
  3. Wait for the file to upload
  4. Try to click anywhere, on the web page, in the address bar, or on a different browser tab - it shouldn’t work anymore, unless you restart the browser.

Oddly enough, keyboard shortcuts still work. You can, for example, press CTRL + R to reload the web page, although everything is still unclickable.

Actual Result:

What I am doing in the recording is:

  1. showcasing how the browser works fine just prior to uploading a file
  2. uploading a file to Google Drive
  3. unsuccessfully trying to click on anything after uploading the file
  4. reloading the page via CTRL + R to show that the browser is still responsive, but unclickable.

Expected result:
The browser should be clickable.

Reproduces how often:
Every time when doing the above.

Operating System and Brave Version:

  • Arch Linux (with KDE Plasma 6.0.2, Wayland session)
  • Brave ver. 1.64.113, Chromium: 123.0.6312.86 (Official build) (64-bit)

Additional Information:
Brave also becomes unclickable randomly. I don’t yet know what those other use cases are.

I saw this post about the issue happening on Mac, but even with memory saver turned off and without being in full-screen mode, I still get this issue.
