STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use Krita (version 4.6.2 and version 5.0.2 have both replicated the issue).
2.  I am using Xencelabs Medium Pen tablet, but an external USB mouse will also replicate the issue.
3. Use Krita for a period of at least 15 - 20 minutes.
4. Use the right click function at least once, typically on a pen and not the mouse.
5. After the right click option is used, you cannot use it again, and then 5-10 minutes after this the mouse is locked only to the canvas. 
6. Shortcut keys still work, so I am able to save my work, but you cannot access the tool options, the color selector, or the brush selector. 
7. You cannot move your mouse outside of Krita (i.e. to task manager or any other program or browser). 
8. To work around the issue, I have to reboot my PC.

OBSERVED RESULT
Mouse tracking will cease moving to the menus outside the canvas in Krita.

Comment 1 Dmitry Kazakov 2022-03-29 14:21:36 UTC
Hi, RSmarines66!

The bug looks as if it is a problem of the tablet driver. Can you do the following:

1) Go to Krita's preferences and switch the "Tablet API" to "WinInk"
2) Restart Krita

You might also need to activate WinInk API in the tablet driver GUI

Thanks for your comment!

Automatically switching the status of this bug to REPORTED so that the KDE team
knows that the bug is ready to get confirmed.

In the future you may also do this yourself when providing needed information.

Should still be in needsinfo state.

Issue resolved by uninstalling and reinstalling tablet driver. Sorry for
the inconvenience.
