Hi,

Can I just say a big thank-you for tracking down the cause (and a
workaround) for this bug. PCB was driving me up the wall recently, as I
had to guess where to clicked based on the auto-panning.

I didn't know right click turned off the auto-pan until I read the
archives! I also found (I think) that it didn't exhibit the jumping
behaviour if I started the line such that I could hold the "shift" key
to change the angle of the initial line segment. (And still put the
track where I wanted).

The patch appears to work for me.

I'm not 100% convinced by gnome's assertion that it isn't their bug, as
it will only be seen by people using GNOME's Metacity window manager in
sloppy focus mode.

Thanks once again,

Peter Clifton
