While listener is on, pressing mouse left button would cause mouse pointer hang up. about pynput HOT 3 CLOSED

I did some more test and found that the hangup only occurs if you leftclick within the frame of command prompt the script was ran.

Thank you for your clarification---I tested clicking around for quite a bit without experiencing anything odd.

The reason for the freeze is that clicking in the terminal window on Windows freezes the application running inside the terminal when the terminal is set to automatically select text. This in turn will cause mouse input to severely lag, as the python thread running in the global event listener is trying to print your message to stdout.

I will add a suggestion to the documentation to avoid long running code in event callbacks, and to avoid possibly blocking operations.

Thank you for your report.

When you say that you get a mouse pointer hangup, do you mean system wide, of just for your Listener instance?
