mouse pointer moves unexpectedly

mouse pointer moves unexpectedly

[Peter Münster]

Hello,

When
- switching from summary buffer to article buffer (h),
- then removing splits (C-x 1),
- then calling gnus-summary-put-mark-as-expirable (MMee),
my mouse pointer moves near the upper right corner of my emacs X-window.

How can I tell Gnus, not to move my mouse pointer?

Can anybody confirm this problem?  My window manager is fvwm.

TIA for any help!
Cheers, Peter

No, my pointer doesn't move.  Did you set `mouse-avoidance-mode'?

Bye,

No, mouse-avoidance-mode is nil.

I've done some further tests:
- other window mangers: kde and nothing at all (failsafe)
- emacs -Q and no configuration files at all in $HOME

The result is always the same...

Versions:
GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (x86_64-suse-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1)
Gnus v5.13

Nobody...?

How can I debug this problem?

With my setup (SloppyFocus in fvwm, pager, unclutter, etc.) it's really
annoying.

TIA for any help!

I can also confirm this with fluxbox

(mouse-avoidance-mode also nil here)

I cancelled it, because I misread your post and thought it only happened
with fvwm.

Cancels don't always get "respected".
