Can you confirm that the hang doesn't occur without having the ext mouse
plugged in please? I'll see if I can reproduce the issue locally.

That is part off the aggressive power management, how long does the script
take to run?  I'd like to reproduce the issue locally, can you share your
script with me and maybe a list of your activities?

That is more of a documentation blocker, we have documentation assembled
for the teachers on what to expect with the installed activities. Until the
documentation is updated we're a little hesitant on present a different
user experience from what is in the documentation. Bugfixes we can slip in
but changing how the activity looks or new features would render the
documentation incomplete.
