I don't think that's the problem.

I've played with this some more and I've seen some really inconsistent
behavior. What I've noticed is that if you have some UI events that
are triggered (such as an updated label) DoEvents works as it's supposed
to. So, I moved my DoEvents to another location at the end of my event
hook method and now it works right even without the MOUSE at all.

Behavior is different in the runtime than dev, too. In Dev I still
occasionally see the hangup - with the runtime it consistently runs
Ok.
