I finally went out and bought a mouse for my Amiga 1200HD (rescued from Value Village, $8.00), and from what I see either the mouse or my mouse port is damaged. The machine moves the cursor around fine, and when I hold down the right mouse button the menu comes up.
But when I hit the left mouse button, nothing happens in Workbench anywhere. I haven't had time to find another monitor for it (using my development machine's display with a VGA adaptor that can't appear to switch resolutions when running a program other than Workbench) so I can't test to see if it's a Workbench-only problem.
I figure the mouse cord might be damaged, there's a little white bootie on the cord and it's bent at an odd angle behind it.
