The more important part of my report is that the mouse pointer must always=

be shown - exactly the thing that Pupeno's commit didn't fix.

Remember that you originally agreed with having a deadline for the=20
kdeaccessibility release last Friday. We had to extend this because some=20
strings in kmag where missing i18n, but if without the other kmag bugs=20
fixed as well, a release does not make much sense. That's why Pupeno=20
fixed all the compile warinings and the open bugs.

I looked into the kmag code and found that there is a point where the=20
selection is "centered". Here we could simply add code that ensures that=20
mouse is still in the visible area.

I will look into that today, maybe I come up with a solution before we=20
release kdeaccessibility rc 1 this weekend.

I agree.
That's exactly what my intention of the bug report was.

Olaf.
