Bug#565346: epiphany-browser: dragging links sometimes steals the mouse pointer and renders it useless

[Michael Banck]

Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 2.29.3-1
Severity: normal

Sometimes (I cannot reliably reproduce it), when I accidently drag a
link through a badly executed mouse click, the mouse pointer icon
changes to the drag-link icon and does not change back on button
release.

This means the mouse pointer is  the drag-link icon and mouse clicks no
longer register - only keyboard navigation is possible.

It is not really clear whether some procedure restores the proper mouse
pointer behaviour or (I think this is more likely) after a long timeout
(>= two minutes at least) the mouse pointer gets restored automatically.
Maybe some timer is off here.
