So Emacs is not being reported the mouse clicks.

Hmm... So button clicks and dragging with left or right button don't
work anywhere except on the scroll bars?
What about dragging with the mouse the mode line between two
windows--does that resize the windows?

In "Settings -> Bluetooth & devices -> Mouse", review all the
settings, especially the ones in "Additional mouse settings".
Emacs 30 added support for touch-screen devices, and more precise
handling of mouse-wheel events. But you say that your mouse is not a
touchpad, and that the wheel works fine. So I don't think I
understand what changes in Emacs 30 could have caused the problem,
sorry.
Can you try with a different mouse, like a simple optical mouse
connected via USB?
Po Lu, any other ideas and suggestions?
