Thanks a million Nathan (and everyone else who took a look at this), pygame.event.pump() solved the problem.

Much appreciate,

I would try adding pygame.event.pump() calls within the tight
animation loop (once per frame maybe). That will allow pygame to
process windowing events during the animation.
