This bug concerns incorrect mouse pointer display.
On X windows on the pVax (possibly others, too) in release 6.3B:
1) The root pointer shape should be the default "X"
2) Take a window which has a pointer shape of an arrow, such as emacs, a
zephyrgram, or the logout window, and place it one pixel from the top
of the screen (one pixel's height of root should be visible above the
border of the window)
3) Put the pointer in the window.
4) Move the pointer above the window so that it touches the root.
Result: the cursor changes to an X, but since the X hot spot is
in the middle of the X and the X is not drawn off the top
of the screen, the pointer is now in the window you came from.
Apparently the window isn't notified that the pointer went back
to it? Anyway, the pointer stays an "X" until it is moved to another
window or back to the same window after leaving it in a different
direction.
