[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Tabbed dialog boxes don't map cursor position correctly on OS X Sierra (#1428)

[Justin]

@elextr Yeah, the ML post is mine.

@techee I tried to screenshot the issue, but I'm not satisfied with the built-in screenshot tools, as they either capture the cursor but not the error (the Grab utility), or they show the cursor's current "position" but not the cursor (the CMD+SHIFT+4, SPACE command to capture the current window).

I'll attempt to display an ASCII version of what the issue is:

    <- (cursor)
    (blank space)
     [] (checkbox)
     [] (another checkbox)
    [[]] (active/hovered checkbox)

What you would normally see:

     [] (checkbox)
     [] (another checkbox)
    [[]]<- (active/hovered checkbox with cursor)

Effectively, the cursor's position as interpreted by the dialog box is offset from the actual cursor position, typically by some upward vertical and possibly some leftward horizontal amount.  If it's a checkbox, it won't highlight the checkbox directly under the cursor, but possibly one below it somewhere, or if you move the cursor to the right position, you'll see it highlight the one you're intending to click, but see the cursor somewhere not over the box.  The same happens with text boxes and the text cursor.  It doesn't change to the text cursor until you're somewhere above the text box, not over the text box.
