Comment 127 for bug 296167

Geekfreak's fix makes me wonder if the cause is related to cursor position.

One of the common triggers mentioned by folks on this thread is virtual machines or virtual desktop software such as vnc, synergy, and vmware. Those often work by moving the mouse pointer offscreen (for example, when you use synergy to control a remote desktop, the pointer is hidden on the local desktop by moving it to a point outside of view).

Can anyone reliably trigger the bug by using a similar xautomation command to move the pointer to a location offscreen?
