When I grab the mouse event, there is an unexpected situation that it will get stuck in next_event (), so that no subsequent messages can be obtained.

It's very easy to reproduce.
Now I'll simplify this part of the code as follows:

from Xlib.display import Display
from Xlib import X
def handle(event):
    if event.type == X.MotionNotify:
        print("MotionNotify", event.root_x, event.root_y)

disp = Display()
root = disp.screen().root

root.grab_pointer(True,
                  X.ButtonPressMask |
                  X.ButtonReleaseMask |
                  X.PointerMotionMask,
                  X.GrabModeAsync,
                  X.GrabModeAsync,
                  0, 0, X.CurrentTime)

while 1:
    event = disp.next_event()
    handle(event)
    disp.allow_events(X.AsyncPointer, X.CurrentTime)

You can try to run this program when you press the left or right mouse button and hold it still. Any event in the program will not be grabbed or displayed.

It's beyond my ability... Is there anything recommended for debugging?

Many thanks in advance
