[Paraview] TimerEvents not fired while dragging mouse in vtkRenderWindow

[Joachim Pouderoux]

Kolja,

As it is a VTK Python related question, please address this issue to the
VTK mailing list instead.

> Heya,
> I paste some code below, which displays an empty vtkRenderWindow with an
> interactor. The interactor fires a TimerEvent every 100ms as printed by the
> Observer.
> The problem: when I press a mouse button in the vtkRenderWindow, the
> TimerEvents stop to be reported, although I need to process data
> periodically in my application as a reaction to those TimerEvents.
>
> Why are no TimerEvents fired when a button is pressed, and how can I
> change this behaviour?
> Thank you
