I can reproduce after fresh upgrades, but not on a system that has had the session running for two weeks. Something unity-related got updated in the meantime..

check that 'gsettings get org.compiz.unityshell:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/ disable-mouse' returns 'false'. Then toggling the setting from ccsm (unity - switcher) on and off fixed it for me..

Then toggling the setting from ccsm (unity - switcher) on and off - fixed it to me too.

Haven't seen anymore reports on this, so I think this got cleared up. Will just mark this Invalid to get it off the bug list.
