This is a 'feature' of TEWidget

    NOTE: During the marking process we attempt to keep the cursor within
    the bounds of the text as being displayed by setting the mouse position
    whenever the mouse has left the text area.

    Two reasons to do so:
    1) QT does not allow the `grabMouse' to confine-to the TEWidget.
       Thus a `XGrapPointer' would have to be used instead.
    2) Even if so, this would not help too much, since the text area
       of the TEWidget is normally not identical with it's bounds.
