Mouse codes are printed to the terminal on exit

[willmcgugan]

Sometimes mouse codes are printed to the terminal on exit. This tends to occur if you are moving the mouse around then exit quickly.

I suspect this is because the app exists prior to all mouse events in stdin being consumed.

Find a way to a) reliably reproduce this error and b) fix it.

I suspect this will require disabling input then posting a null event and waiting for that event to be processed, prior to exiting.

I wonder whether PyAutoGUI could be used as part of this? Have a test wiggle the mouse and then ctrl-c the app? Though then you'd have to spawn the app somewhere and then run the test in a separate process/window/etc

My programing skills are not intermediate yet but I am a daily linux user. I'd like to try my hand at this, after recreation of the issue I would attempt to turn the unwanted mouse output into a daemon with the subprocess module

My thinking is that this would require a shutdown routine for the event loop. In that routine we would use termios.tcflush() or similar to flush stdin before we exit. For Windows we would need to use mscrt to read keys - not sure if that will translate to mouse events though.

Should be fixed in 0.1.13
