Hi Philippe,
you code may work around the problem, but I would like to first
understand what is causing it. You could add a break point on your new
code to see what is causing it. In addition you could add the switches
"--GNU-Debug=NSEvent --GNU-Debug=Moving --GNU-Debug=Frame" to your
command line to see more debug output. That way we may be able to
understand how this nonsensical value get created.
It could be that the line
n = [self _XFrameToOSFrame: x for: cWin];
converts the correct X values into wrong OS values. This would mean that
we are using the wrong style offset values. Which window manager are you
using? Is this properly supported by our _checkStyle: code?
Here the command line switch "--GNU-Debug=Offset" should give you more
information.
Fred
