I've discovered another symptom, and I'm assuming it's related.
One of the games that I play in Chrome is an incremental called Evolve
<https://pmotschmann.github.io/Evolve/>. This game uses Javascript
heavily, and allows dragging and dropping various things within the
game, in order to rearrange work queues and so forth.
As of this morning's update, dragging and dropping items in this game
doesn't work either. The dragging part appears to work correctly, as
far as I can tell -- there is visual feedback that a thing is being
moved as I drag with the mouse. But when I release the button to "drop"
the thing, it simply goes back to its original position. No rearranging
occurs.
