Cannot click anything
I have almost completely given up on gimp just for this unbelievably frustrating problem, when I open gimp I can click a couple things then it just stops responding to clicks. I can do things with the keyboard and sometimes get the mouse to select things again but it stops after one or two clicks! I tried to access input devices to change my mouse to "Disabled" but i cant even click the option for it. I have looked up quite a few google searches trying to find an answer and have come across nothing that helps me, as the best description I can come up with is the mouse does not click. If anybody could help I would greatly appreciate it!

What OS are you on?
If windows, do you also have an antivirus program running as well? If so,
does pausing/turning off the antivirus stop the problem from happening?

This is a shot in the dark, but it kinda sounds like there may be a filter window open in the background. Probably not, but many a time I've opened up a dialog and then got distracted and that window went to the background under the main gimp window and it takes me a while to figure it out. Hope you sort it out though. Gimp has always been stable for me.
Cheers

Well it seems the problem is related to my Razer Deathadder, not sure if its the mouse itself or razer software but when i used a different mouse and restarted my pc it fixed the problem. thanks for the suggestions though!

I had the same problem as you had, but I solved it after I logged out of Skype. According to the below reference, you could also solve the problem after you stop running an Anti-virus program. I should thank who had posted this link, it's kind of a life savior for me. https://www.reddit.com/r/GIMP/comments/5rxa22/please_help_i_cant_click_on_ui/
