I can actually reproduce this on any platform with any window manager
now. There is a tiny interval between giving the two files/buffers for
ediff to compare and when the small ediff window is popped up. If I move
the mouse in that interval the pointer is warped to the bottom right
corner. Also, if after I have given the two files/buffers and the
pointer is not over any Emacs frame, ediff will warp the pointer to the
bottom right corner.
The warping code in ediff was not immediately obvious, I think an ediff
expert should take a look at this. It may have something to do with
focus on click or focus follows pointer. It looks like an ediff
specific problem.
