Describe the bug

On the web demo, the UI stops repainting after you click anywhere, and only starts again when you move the mouse. Also, when you press Ctrl+C, it pauses for a fraction of a second. This does not affect the native desktop demo.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open the web demo
2. Select continuous mode or open something that is animated, like plot demo or the fractal clock
3. Click anywhere on the screen and leave the mouse completely still
4. The UI stops repainting until you move the mouse

Expected behavior

The UI should continue to repaint as normal after clicking or pressing Ctrl+C.
