What were you trying to do?
	position my cursor with the mouse

What's wrong:
	emacs gets confused if you have a tab at the end of the line, that	is, just like this line ("    x    ") in an 80-char wide emacs.

For a demonstration, get this bug report into emacs (don't use cut and
paste, it loses tabs), and click on the x in the line above.  The
cursor ends up one character to the left.  You can get emacs even more
confused than this.

What should have happened:
	The cursor should go where I click.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
