1. Make a multiline comment (16 lines or more to see this bug clearly)
2. Select the text, then click with the mouse to move the cursor down to the next line.
3. Repeat as necessary.
Eventually you will find that the mouse y pos gets way out of sync with the cursor y position, such that you must click three lines lower to get the cursor to move down one line.
This is noticeable with as few as six lines of text.

Oops, forgot the details:
Pd-ext 0.41-4
winxp sp3
Couldn't reproduce on Mac OS X/Intel 10.5.8 with Pd version 0.41.4-extended. I'll check Windows
confirming with pd-extended0.41.4 Linux / Ubuntu Hardy
actually the same happens with multi-line msg boxes
I believe Miller is going to attempt a fix of this as part of 0.43. For more info see the thread on pd-list, "Font weirdness with 0.43test":
