[0.17.4] lost ability to click on (half of?) in-game items

[osndok]

running in windowed mode
was putting coal into a chest by ctrl-click-dragging a quickbar entry
no interesting diagnostic output

the game is not paused
hovering over ground tiles & buildings "works" (right panel shows info)
clicking on buildings/chests open them
unable to click/drag any item in the character inventory or building inventories
unable to click any onscreen menu button, radar, or the buttons above radar

effect vanished after I placed a new building

possibly what the author of 66298 was referring to?

Thanks for the report.
This should be fixed in 0.17.10: 66210
