The problem in the code you originally posted is probably that the
event queue is getting full since you only grab certain events out of
it (probably from MOUSEMOVE events). Use event.set_blocked to filter
out the events that you don't need and just call event.get(). Not sure
if this will affect the MOUSEUP problem in your revised code, though.
