Thanks for the reply, David. I did resize but was not specifically
resizing the TLB, simply the label widget; I did toggle "map", which
set the whole GUI flashing on/off but even then the program went
inactive after the nominal ten iterations. This is actually not
"commercial software" because it is used in non-profit scientific
research, public funds, public results, etc. but the users we wish to
share the software with, of course, use Mac and Windows - oh well. I
will play a bit more with creating resizing, etc. this evening when I
in front of a Windows computer, which I typically try to keep many
miles from me!
I recall trying "show" but in re-reading the documentation it sounds
like a better choice. If I resolve this then I will post the
"solution", no matter how shameless it may be...

Ah, the joys of creating commercial software with IDL! :-)
I don't know of a way to "nudge the mouse", but I
might try resizing the TLB by a pixel or so. Does
that cause the events to become unstuck? Is it
something Windows needs to do, or the mouse specifically?
Cheers,
David
