Comment 5 for bug 1765774

@Jeff, it may be related to the cursor-warp thing @Sethh mentioned, but not exactly as he describes. It only occurs intermittently, and when it does I note that the mouse pointer starts separated from the cross-hairs cursor (because the cross-hairs moves in 50 mil steps while the mouse pointer moves freely). When I exit from the Edit dialog the mouse pointer has indeed moved from where it was when I hit the "e" key. However, the mouse pointer has been moved to align with the cross-hairs cursor, and both are squarely inside the symbol, not outside.

In case it's relevant, and I don't think it is, I'm running Linux Mint 18.2 (Sonya) with the KDE desktop. I normally have "Focus Follows Mouse - Mouse Precedence" selected. However, I've reproduced the bug with "Click to Focus" selected too.
