Blender Version
Broken: All 2.80 versions

Simultaneously use any tool including move, rotate etc while moving the 3d mouse, the 3d mouse locks up.

3d mouse software - 3DxWare 10 for Windows (64-bit) - v10.5.11

Thank you for adding 3dconnexion (3d mouse) support to Blender 2.8. The only issue I have is when I'm in Edit Mode and simultaneously use any tool including move, rotate etc while moving the 3d mouse, the 3d mouse locks up! Pan, Zoom and Rotate all freezes until the operation is complete. I can continue to fly around the model while simultaneously sculpting but currently not in Edit Mode. Can this be fixed in 2.8? Thanks

Hi, Sorry, I have added my issue in the wrong place and should be in User_Feedback_and_Requests. I dot understand why it was placed in this task - https://developer.blender.org/T57305

My Request - Simultaneously use any edit tool including move, rotate etc while moving the 3d mouse. Nathan Letwory demonstrates this in a 3 min video back in 2011 (sculpt mode). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQha4QPo1E0
You can see the 3d mouse navigation and sculpting tools work very well together. Sculpting and moving the view at the same time. I would love to see the edit mode work the same way.
Currently, the viewport is choppy when in edit mode. When an edit tool is active and in use, the 3d connexion mouse locks. But unlocks when the edit command has been completed.
