Noticed a strange deadzone bug today during arenas. There’s a large area centered around my character and extending a few inches of real screen space in each direction that is causing problems with the mouse. Whenever the cursor is over this area, I cannot click with either button and other mouse buttons are also not working.
The bug seemed to trigger while in arenas but then persisted until I logged out. Had it retrigger after another game or two. I know addons are often a culprit, though I did update everything. Just wanted to post in case anyone else is seeing this or has a solution. Thanks

I had the same problem earlier, my extra mouse buttons weren’t working and occasionally my left and right click as well. I wasn’t every arena though. I doubt it is addons either as the only addon I use is skada. It was in Kul Tiras and Mugambala. Makes arena unplayable until it is fixed for me.
I have the exact same issue. It’s like the middle of the play screen suddenly has a dead space that wont register any clicks. If I slide my mouse to the outsides of the play area, it is no longer an issue. However, that is not a viable option or fix when playing in arenas. Please fix this issue. Arenas are starting to become too frustrating to bother with.

Same happend to me with right click mouse when want to move camera on arenas so many dead zone, and i have to /reload ui for can fix it for some minutes then going back again to the problem x.x
Have the same problem to. There seems to be a deadzone in the center of the screen between my character and my action bars that in unclickable.
Really frustrating especially in arenas.
This has been happening since 8.1 patch ( but I wasn’t doing arena much before that). At one point I only had elvui (10.84) and WA2 loaded, and it still happened.
I’ve talked to TONS of people having this exact same problem!!!
BLIZZARD PLEASE FIX THIS !!!
PLEASE FIX !!!
FIX !!!
Happened to me twice today, both times started in/during arena (but problem remained until relogging).
Its pretty garbage they have a bug this BAD and still haven’t done anything about it… Its pretty much unplayable
Thanks to some comments in a reddit thread on this bug was able to implement a workaround. The “dead” area is a zone extending up from the lootframe (this is why most of us didn’t encounter it until after a few arena games, you won’t hit the problem until after you’ve gotten the bonus roll option). If you use ElvUI (or similar addon that allows you to easily move this frame) move the lootframe to an area that won’t impact your gameplay as much.

Ahhh good to know. Thanks for the tip. I do use ElvUI so will try that since the bug is still happening. Bump for great justice and hopeful fix
Me and My Roommate are also having problems. It does start when in a arena then persists out side of it the only thing is it dont matter where our mouse is on the screen. It also alows me to when i have a click pressed to move the wow hand off to my second screen i find that bizarre. Once you log out and back in it seams to be fine till the next time we do arenas
Has this ish been fixed yet? I let my sub run out and I don’t plan to resub until this has been fixed.

That sounds like an invisible frame from an addon that has dead mouse interactivity. You can use MoveAnything to locate any hidden frames on your screen.
Im having the same issue in arena, where I can’t use my left and right mouse buttons.
Seems to be happening to me. Anyone find a fix?
Happens to me all the time. Let me tell you it is annoying when you’re trying to turn away in arenas to run and los who is attacking you to heal yourself.
It seems to happen if you don’t accept/reject the bonus roll before leaving the arena. I started rejecting before i leave the arena and I stop having the dead zone
happens to me…the problem seems to warm up
