Which avoidance setting do you use? I tried animate, but the behavior
is not as frustrating as you say.
The problem with mouse-avoidance-mode is that it's a global minor mode,
so disabling it only for doc-view buffers doesn't work. I could
deactivate it temporally while slicing with the mouse, but that doesn't
help much and works only around the real problem:
mouse-avoidance-mode makes no sense and is irritating in buffers where
point isn't visible like image-mode or doc-view.
Bye,
Tassilo

I am unable to freely move the mouse over the doc to set x & y for slice.
Mouse keeps jumping back to the right fringe per avoidance settings.
*BUT* if i move across the top of the menubar and/or *very* rapidly
move the mouse to left fringe I can get a few moments of mouse trigger
time before mouse re-banishes to right.
This is not intuitive behavior. If possible, when avoidance mode is
active the menu option should not be available and/or avoidance should
be temporarily overidden when doc-view-set-slice-using-mouse has been
invoked.
