My extension only runs when the mouse cursor is over

I want to make a realtime-streaming chart

here is my code :

import omni.ext
import omni.ui as ui
import threading
from random import uniform

# Any class derived from `omni.ext.IExt` in top level module (defined in `python.modules` of `extension.toml`) will be
# instantiated when extension gets enabled and `on_startup(ext_id)` will be called. Later when extension gets disabled
# on_shutdown() is called.
class ShahnLinePlotExtension(omni.ext.IExt):
    
    #define local variables
    def __init__(self):
        self.x = 0.0
        self.y = 0.0
        self.z = 0.0

        self.XData = [0.0 for n in range(300)]
        self.YData = [0.0 for n in range(300)]
        self.ZData = [0.0 for n in range(300)]

        self.XPlot = ui.Plot()
        self.YPlot = ui.Plot()
        self.ZPlot = ui.Plot()
    
    # ext_id is current extension id. It can be used with extension manager to query additional information, like where
    # this extension is located on filesystem.
    def on_startup(self, ext_id):
        
        self._window = ui.Window("Line Chart", width=600, height=400)
        with self._window.frame:
            with ui.VStack():                

                ui.Label("Line Chart 1", alignment=ui.Alignment.CENTER)
                self.XPlot =  ui.Plot(ui.Type.LINE, -1000.0, 1000.0, *self.XData, width=600, height=100, 
                    alignment=ui.Alignment.CENTER, style={"color": 0xFF0000FF})

                ui.Label("Line Chart 2", alignment=ui.Alignment.CENTER)
                self.YPlot = ui.Plot(ui.Type.LINE, -2000.0, 2000.0, *self.YData, width=600, height=100, 
                    alignment=ui.Alignment.CENTER, style={"color": 0xFF0000FF})

                ui.Label("Line Chart 3", alignment=ui.Alignment.CENTER)
                self.ZPlot =  ui.Plot(ui.Type.LINE, -10000.0, 10000.0, *self.ZData, width=600, height=100, 
                    alignment=ui.Alignment.CENTER, style={"color": 0xFF0000FF})

                self.get_value()

    def on_shutdown(self):
        print("[shahn.line.plot] shahn line plot shutdown")

    def get_value(self):
        self.x = uniform(-900, 900)
        self.y = uniform(-1900, 1900)
        self.z = uniform(-2900, 2900)
        
        self.XData.append(self.x)
        self.YData.append(self.y)     
        self.ZData.append(self.z)   

        self.XData = self.XData[-300:]
        self.YData = self.YData[-300:]
        self.ZData = self.ZData[-300:]
            
        self.XPlot.set_data(*self.XData)
        self.YPlot.set_data(*self.YData)
        self.ZPlot.set_data(*self.ZData)
        
        self._loading_timer = threading.Timer(0.25, self.get_value).start()

I succeeded in executing the realtime streaming chart extension
without the ui freezing using threading,
but When mouse cursor leaves the UI of the extension, chart streaming stops.

I wish it would work even if the mouse cursor goes out of the extension’s ui

Any solution to this problem?

here is the error displayed in the console:

I don’t know exactly why, but in create app it works in real time even if the cursor goes out

When the mouse cursor is outside the extension ui, the only thing that stops my extension is the code app
