Right! Just updated my cvs, recompiled and when I now hit F3, even while the mouse is in control mode, the mouse pointer is re-centered on the screen. I tried what I suggested just above and found that the controls were re-centered, along with the mouse pointer. If you've moved the mouse around quite a bit before hitting F3 then it's likely that you'll have hit the control limits at some point and then, when the pointer is re-centered, the controls will have an offset.
