Yep, I've got the same bug here.  I mentioned it a few months ago
but there wasn't any discussion about it.  I had trouble describing
the problem.

Even before I described the problem someone mentioned that he
noticed that the mouse pointer's "hot spot" (I hadn't heard it
called that before but quickly figured out what he meant) isn't
where you'd expect it to be.  Instead of being able to drag the
window with the tip of the arrow, you have to use the middle of
the arrow.  I think this is somehow related to the strange results
one can get when looking at the WB screen behind the VT100 screen.

There is also something funny that goes on at the bottom of the
screen when playing with the top of the screen.  I haven't the
foggiest (yet) of what is going on with the screen/window/pointer.

One of these days, I'm really going to go through that book about
the Amiga and learn ...
