Oh, I think now I know what happened: I made --- or wanted to make --- a
bug report about the behaviour I described above, and that report had
"cursor" in the subject.  Apparently, at about the same time, Lars made
another bug report.

Then when I looked here for the bug report I made (searching for
"cursor"), I found Lars' report and thought it was the one I wanted to
make because it also has "cursor" in the subject.  I'm sorry for the
confusion!


The report I wanted to make apparently never was sent.  Should I make a
new report?  Can anyone reproduce the behaviour I've described?
