Yes, since 2.3.3 a few controls on wxGTK report their positions differently
from the mouse event.

No, unfortunately in the mouse event, the sender of the event is reported
as the control parent, but the position is reported relative to the
child. From this conflicting infomation Boa cannot work out the correct
position info.

These are definitely bugs in wxGTK/wxWindows (in my opinion), and I've
commited myself to writing complete report of which controls misbehave
and how (I think) they should behave. Unfortunately I've not written this
report yet (no time) so I doubt anybody is fixing anything yet.

Sorry,
Riaan.
