I figured it out. It's the stupid Xbox Game Bar for windows 10. When you start a game it flashes a useless tip towards the top right of your screen, this is what becomes the cursor dead spot. You can fix it by opening the Xbox Game Bar in your start menu, click on the gear icon for settings, and un-check the box for "show tips when I start a game".
So I did some more experimenting with this and I've noticed that it has nothing to do with the inventory slots, chests, or the recipe book. It's actually a dead spot for the mouse cursor on the screen. The reason closing the recipe book or opening a chest "fixes" the problem is because it centers the inventory menu on your screen and moves the slots away from the cursor deadspot. This deadspot also exists on the in game menu, it's just not noticeable because the clickable buttons on the menu are so large.
I have been having this same issue. I've noticed that it is only in effect when I have the crafting recipes open, if I close the recipes the inventory slots become available again. I don't use any mods or overlays.

Same problem, after about the 5th or 6th dungeon found without a chest I figured it was more than just unlucky coincidence
someone has found a temporary fix to the issue.
only use if willing to cause issues if they do arise.

There are 2 .DLLs that can't read the code.
Maybe there are better than the one on that forum?
Maybe there is a different fix with better results?
With all due respect, yes, catalyst 14.1 is a beta, half the effort is reporting the issue so that many others don't fall into the same issue. catalyst 14.1 is a good step towards not to worry ever about frame rates. I'm not bothered by being of assistance instead of going back to the old driver and just letting it fix itself. Progress is key here. Instead of rambling on, it would be great if communication was being made between vastly more knowledgeable people. I don't know if you guys and AMD are working together on the subject. But, the general population of the people that play minecraft could only tell the basics instead of what makes the issue tick. All we can do is fiddle with switches and don't have a clue about the wiring.
off the subject, I have been around sense MC beta and am looking forward towards 1.8. 🙂

I had the music data pack installed, because the others discs played, but Other World didn't. However since it's resolved, I believe it should play now. Thank you.
