Hey @a2-c-martin, thanks for reporting. I thought this was fixed already, but we’ll take a look at it.

@mrclary, could you check if you’re getting the same problem on Mac? Thanks!

Ok, thanks for the confirmation @mrclary. I added that if because I thought it was not needed on Mac. Furthermore, that processEvents is making both Qtconsole and Spyder test suites hang on Mac.

But I’ll add a workaround so that it’s not called while running tests but it is in regular use.
