This is a fairly new feature, I would wait a while for bugs surrounding this feature to be fixed.

Does it work if you press the left arrow key first?

I found out that you can fix it by inspecting the page (On a laptop/computer) and removing three random invisible things that covered the entire screen
(then you can press the button)

New method! If you are stuck on the pop-up, exit add a “editor” to the link "https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1208870839/“ to ”https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1208870839/editor“ or open the project's editor through the ”My Stuff“ page. Then click the share button, then click set thumbnail and the ”OK, I got it" button. Easy as pie.
You can also refresh the page

Introduction
Recently, there has been a new feature introduced in Scratch, the “Set Thumbnail” button, but; it seems to be causing a bug where projects can't receive mouse input. The bug seems to be caused by the “Hi! Try out our new feature.” popup.
However, it can be easily worked around.

How to work around the bug?
On one of your projects, press the button and click the X on the info popup. It won't save the thumbnail if you close the popup.

Once that's done, the bug will go away.

What to try if it doesn't work?
If you have a keyboard, try pressing the left arrow key. If that works, then follow the steps above to prevent the bug from occuring again.
I can't click the button, it doesn't work
you need to click the left arrow key.

I feel like they should just remove the popup anyway (or at least, the “Hi! Try out our new feature” thing) because the feature has already been out for a while
