This seems to work properly in 21.3, but not in current/recent CVS.
This is on Solaris running twm as the window manager.
If I invoke ediff, say to compare two files, ediff starts a little
separate "control frame".
-- On Windows, this frame gets focus and the pointer gets warped there.
-- On Linux/Sawfish, the same.
-- On Solaris/twm (focus follows pointer), the X pointer gets warped
into the bottom right corner of the screen!
Any ideas/comments? Can anyone reproduce this behavior?

I can not be reproduce this on Solaris 9.

I am on Solaris 7. Do not see how it should matter, though. Any
hints on how I would go about tracking this down? A really primitive
test of the pointer positioning function seems to indicate it works!

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.

Could you talk with kifer@cs.sunysb.edu about it?

Now I can no longer reproduce the problem on my end. May have been a
"feature" of an X server that was up for way too long for its own
sanity.
Just thought you might want to know.
