mouse pointer hot spot is way off

[Peter Haworth]

There's pretty persuasive evidence now that the shadowed variable bug is
caused by stopping a debug run early.  Since I trained myself to let debug
run to the end of its natural course, I have not seen the problem.
Hopefully that will help the team figure out the cause and fix it.
