Re: gvim moves mouse

Hello Bram

I am using ubuntu on one computer and debian unstable on another
computer.

The steps are quite simple. Open up a terminal and edit a file. Then
open another terminal (or screen window) and then open the same file
using gvim. You get the popup-box showing the message, that the
'*.swp'-file already exists. Now when you press "open read only", the
popup vanishes, but the cursor is in the upper left corner.

I have the same problem on debian with ratpoison, which is even more
frustrating, as i am using synergy with another computer which means,
that I loose focus on this computer as the mouse course even jumps to
the other monitor (meaning at least one pixel left of the upper left
corner). If you know synergy, you might understand, what I mean. :)

Hope, this info helps.

Greetings
