I tried with the Tk backend, and I'm seeing the same problem as Eric F has with GTK. The problem seems to be with idle_event not getting triggered on some of the backends.
The checkins having to do with idle_event from the end of June indicate that idle_event is still somewhat experimental. What's the current status of idle_event? Can I help in some way? If idle_event can't be made robust, I'll need to look for another method to address the following problem. When I close off the polygon, I determined that I needed to fall back to the idle state to be able to see the closed polygon. My code, itself triggered off a right mouse click, was apparently blocking drawing to the screen. It is desirable to see the closed polygon on screen before the polygon callback in the event that the callback takes a long time.
