I can't duplicate the problem you are describing.
Are you running in Full Screen or Windowed Mode?
If you are running in Windowed Mode, is the window maximized? (Center button in upper right corner looks like two windows, one on top of the other. If it's a single button it is not maximized and you may be clicking outside of the CoH window.)
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

2 things I can think of.
1 is the Pop Up Help defaults there. Even if you have it turned off by default, I have run into the issue where I cannot move items in that area. Try going into Options and turn them on and then back off again.
2 would be if you have something on your desktop that does like autohide in that area and it is somehow come to the forefront.

it's very strange, it's like my mouse scrolls off the screen to the right and doesn't to the left. I noticed a "show desktop" item on the task bar in the lower right. I'll try to disable that.
It might help us if you run HiJack This and post the log, so we know what other programs are running and (possibly) causing this issue. A CoH Helper log also couldn't hurt.

LOL, my computer has dual monitors setup even though I only had one monitor connected. I was scrolling onto the invisible monitor to the right!
Yay PEBCAK!
Invisible screens are ruining my life, too!!

Good to see you fixed the problem.
A very similar issue was happening to me and I found that the problem was that my Anti-virus software (Zone Alarm) was displaying dialog boxes on the right side of the screen. Things like "Scan Completed" etc.
They didn't take the screen focus if I was playing COH unless I happen to mouse over them. Which offcourse took focus away from COH and quite often at the same time the Zone Alarm notice will close so I didn't get to see it.
I can only think the problem is that Zone Alarm tries to make the notice appear on top of any screen, but while COH is in full screen mode it doesnt allow this. So you end up with a type of in-between area between the two. This only started to happen with version 10 of Zone Alarm, prior to then the notice will appear on top of any other program in windows mode, but behind any programs in full screen mode.
I assume that the same problem can happen with other programs other then Zone Alarm.
Not the same issue you had, but similar results.
if I move my mouse to the far right side of the screen and click CoH looses focus. it's as if I have clicked on the desktop.
it doesn't happen at the top, left or bottom of the screen... just the right hand side.
THIS IS SO ANNOYING, it's amazing how often I manage to click there.
This seems new, I don't remember this last week.
