No. As I mentioned before, the effect also happens in the refocus 
plugin, when
the window is made so large, that the filter is busy long enough, after 
moving
a rubber.

Even under windows my mouse "jumps" sometimes. So I believe the mouse 
events
can be lost or corrupted by hardware or due to lost interrupts, when the 
processor
is busy.

I will do. However before I do it, I must learn it and this needs time.
