Conky halts on mouse movement, goes on when movement stops #2359

Description

@Lowrida

System: Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.3 with kernel 6.17.0-23-generic

I have created a conky that runs 2 lua scripts. One script creates a ring, the other creates 3 graph lines. These all react on a cava data stream (on sound).

When i run the conky and i move my mouse around it freezes, when i stop moving the mouse it goes on!
Exceptions are moving over Telegram and the conky windows itself,, that seems to have no effect. All other windows or desktop it freezes the conky.
I searched in the code, but have no clue what happens here!?? I don't know if this is a bug or not.
Maybe one of you guys can see what happens here or test if the same happens on your system?

Conky version 1.22.4-pre-ea256ffd and 1.19.8 have the same result
