Required to switch between applications to regain trackball mouse clicks

Description
I have been using Logitech Trackman Marble with GIMP in both Win and Mac since 2008.
After updating to OS Yosemite, I realized trackball mouse clicks stopped working when secondary windows are created, for example: exporting files in extensions that required additional windows (JPEG and quality, GIF and animation...)
I managed to recover functions of both left and right mouse clicks in GIMP after switching applications.
I felt this could be solved with a newer version of GIMP, but found myself facing the same problem, except this time mouse clicks would be disabled for every other panel, droplist, checkbox and input areas too. In order to switch tools or configure them, I have to go back and forth between applications to 'reset' the mouse. And if I want to use the tool, I have to switch applications again to be able to use the canvas.
Curiously, this doesn't happen when I use the pad without connecting the trackball. This is very similar to what other users have faced with pen tablets.
