This is a wild guess -- sounds like a race condition where the mouse up
event is somehow getting fired before the mouse down event.
In your more complex example, are you adding/removing axes while
interacting with the plots?
You could try "papering over" this problem by replacing Axes.end_pan
with the following (I'm not entirely sure this is a good idea, but I'm
curious if it prevents the sluggishness):
def end_pan(self):
"""
Called when a pan operation completes (when the mouse button
is up.)
.. note::
Intended to be overridden by new projection types.
"""
if hasattr(self, '_pan_start'):
del self._pan_start
