Shishir, I commend you on the excellent test case. Hooray for short
test cases!
I'm not familiar with this particular area of the code, but I
believe there have been various bugs around global and local
positions inside an inputtext.
To help Max track it down -- which browser are you using, and which
runtime?
To make it an even better test, you could add a writeln or a comment
about what value is expected versus what value you actually see --
something like:
Debug.print('Expected 27 for local.green_x, got %d" , local.green_x);
I also invite you to search jira (http://jira.openlaszlo.org) for
bugs about positioning within inputtext's -- especially look for
recently-modified bugs.
Finally, please try this in a recent nightly build from trunk.
Thanks for participating in open source distributed quality assurance!

Hi,
Perhaps this is a noob misunderstanding - but the following is the
simplest script I
could muster that shows the issue.
The intent is to instantiate an element on a mouse click, at the
position of the mouse click.
I am having trouble deciphering the difference between the global
and local mouse events.
Within the window in the script below, x=0,y=0 seems to be indexed
of the window area accounting for the border.
However, the canvas_click and local_click are essentially at the
same point.
The issue with this is that the local_click and canvas_click are
being instantiated offset by the title bar height and
border wrt the actual mouse click.
Would this be a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Any help is much appreciated.
I am using the 4.0.7 SDK to build this.
thanks,
