This bug report is from Oracle, a Java licensee.
We would like to have the following bug
addressed in JDK 1.1.6.
The Oracle bug number is 635654.

The bug is within JavaSoft's fix for a previously
filed bug, Oracle bug 507960 / JavaSoft bug 4040388.
This older bug was regarding a problem with
Frame.setCursor(), where calling the method would
not change the cursor until the mouse was moved.
Oracle suggested a simple fix, but JavaSoft
fixed it in a different manner, using a
mouse move message. Oracle verified that JavaSoft's
fix (in awt_Component.cpp, introduced in
JDK 1.1.6B) did fix the bug.

That fix for Oracle bug 507960, however, has now
been proven to cause events to be sent to the wrong
windows, because it calls WindowFromPoint().

Replacing Javasoft's fix with Oracle's original
suggested fix resolves both issues (507960 and
635654).
Our original fix is simply to call SetCursorPos,
immediately after calling GetCursorPos,
so the end of sun_awt_windows_WComponentPeer_setCursor()
(in awt_Component.cpp) becomes:

...
    POINT pt;
    ::GetCursorPos(&pt);
    ::SetCursorPos(pt.x, pt.y);
}
