My application, created with Pyinstaller, worked fine until I upgraded from High Sierra to Mojave. In order to demonstrate the issue I create the simple application. Main window has only one button. When you press the button its text should be changed to "Please wait" for 10 seconds. When I run this program as .py script, everything works fine, but after creating .app file with Pyinstaller it behaves differently. The text is not updated until you click anywhere outside of the window.
I tried to reinstall Pyinstaller, but the problem still exists.
