mouse pointer hot spot is way off

[J. Landman Gay]

In addition to the tests that Mike suggested, it would be interesting to 
see what you get back if you ask for the mouseloc in the message box 
when you see the problem. Put the cursor up near the 0,0 point of the 
editor so you have a visual reference.

I do like the term "Gatsby bug." :)
