When this happens again, try turning num lock back off.  mwm sees
keypresses and mouse clicks differently when num lock is on (since the
X server treats it as a modifier just like Ctrl or Shift).  We may
compensate for this misfeature in a future release, assuming we can
find the time.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
