Most likely the requestWarpPointer() call is generating a mouse movement
event that is confusing the viewer. A quick, hacky way to check this is
to look at the new pointer position and ignore the event if it's exactly
at 400,400 (make sure you call getX/getY, instead of
getXnormalized,getYnormalized).
If this is the problem, you'll either have to figure out a different way
to do this, or somehow detect whether the event came from a real mouse
movement, or a warp pointer call.
The way we've done this is in the past to do wrapping of the pointer.
When the pointer gets within X pixels of the side of the screen, warp it
to the other side. Of course, we had the advantage of doing our own
low-level event handling, so we knew for certain when the pointer was
moved. You might get away with the same thing just by looking at the
delta (just ignore the movement if the delta is greater than some
value), but this could be error-prone.
