If you look at the second video very carefully you can see that the cursor does not jump to the corner when the selection expands.

What probably happens is that the application that does the background selection does not handle XInput valuators properly. An extremely similar bug was fixed in Qt recently.

The reason this bug does not happen in Arch is that it does not provide this new XInput data so it uses "classic X" cursor location.

To fix this bug we need to find out which app does XFCE desktop selection, how it reads XInput data and fix that.
