The below came into suggest[4457] a while ago and probably should have gone to bugs.

Hello
When signing on to an Athena station in terminal mode (by pressing F3 at
the login screen) the small terminal comes up. The user cannot type in the
terminal unless the mouse is hovering over this terminal window. For some
reason, when a person signs in in terminal mode, the location of cursor
automatically shifts drastically. Even if the mouse is located over the
area of the terminal-to-be, by the time the terminal comes up the mouse
has already re-located outside of that area. It would be convenient if the
mouse could automatically be placed in the region of the terminal so that
the user could proceed directly to using the terminal without having to
shift the mouse.
Thanks,
Chaim
