Interference with mouse tool usage on Cintiq 13 (tool flickering-alternating when drawing)

Description
When using the pen on a Cintiq 13, the toolbox will flicker to what was selected with the mouse input, completely preventing the use of the tablet pen to draw.
This may be related to this bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732064
This seems to occur randomly and may also stop, but it is 100% reproducible by tapping outside the canvas area on the Cintiq.
Right clicking using the pen temporarily stops the issue (as if GIMP is now aware that the pen is the active input).
Things I've tried to completely resolve the issue:
- Stopping the razer mouse software
- Unplugging the mouse
- Rebooting / restarting GIMP
- Using different (newest) versions of GIMP (occurs in 2.9.5 as well).
Since this is a new tablet, I thought it may be tablet hardware related, but no other software has had any issues including paint.net, photoshop or general windows navigation / usage.
A video of this behavior can be seen here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3arpmaqskxpaa0j/AAAdm83Ufv7kZNnxdKMN7M8La?dl=0 Or here: https://youtu.be/T7-a00-QVJ4
The video shows that GIMP is confused as to which input is active, my cintiq or the mouse (I know it's the mouse, because when I move the mouse the flickering stops and the last tool selected with the mouse is selected).
The video also shows, that when this happens the undo history is corrupted, in that I cannot undo any of the commands done via the tool that was last selected by the mouse.
Please note, this issue does not happen when the cintiq is not displaying GIMP. In other words, if I draw on my tablet but GIMP is displayed on a different monitor other than the cintiq, the issue does not occur!
