From the back and forth stack traces it's obvious that the main thread is waiting on something to fully flush. I have no idea though what a SyncFlush is or how you'd work around it.
When you UI thread is blocking, it's usually because some operation you are executing on the event is not being run in it's own thread. I'd say to check the mouseup event for a long running operation that can be shoved off to a background thread and allow the UI thread to be free to dispatch other events.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
