Joachim, I have also sent my question to the vtkusers mailing list after you have suggested it. Unfortunately more than half of the questions sent to vtkusers are never answered, although my impression is that they are formulated better than most questions on the paraview list in general.
So, I'll appreciate if somebody has an idea how to continue receiving TimerEvents from a vtkRenderWindowInteractor while a mouse button is pressed. By the way, I observed this problem with the Paraview version of VTK (Paraview 5.4.1).
