Adobe InDesign list panels unusable + Mouse click outside InDesign window not working

Hi all,
I have a frustrating issue with scrolling InDesign panel lists such as swatches, font list etc.
After I type any set value entering it on a dialogue box (like font size, transparency, color tone, font spacing etc), all InDesign list panels become unusable: list elements (swatches, fonts etc) slip away from mouse selection like they were anchored to cursor.
Mouse click outside InDesign window to desktop or other apps also doesn't work.
Functionality can be restored only by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Canc and then Esc.
I attach a sample video of the issue:
1. two panels working correctly (not important which panels, the issue appears on any panel);
2. typing of a random value on a random box (not important which box, the issue appears after any keyboard entering on any box);
3. the same panels not working anymore (in the video I am only moving the cursor over them, without pressing any mouse button).
I already tried to delete InDesign cache and I also restored default InDesign preferences, but issue recurses. I think there could be a conflict between InDesign and hardware/OS settings, here details:
InDesign version: 18.2.1 (+ ANY earlier CC version. I had identical issues on all previous versions on this pc).
OS: Windows 10 x64
PC model: Dell XPS-15
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
Mouse model: Dell WM615 (Bluetooth), drivers updated to last version
Thank you
