Hi Andi, Giovanni
Yes, on Linux, the backbuffer/resize bug on X11 in Qt (still present in
4.8) prevents to have the box moving as widgetitem over the canvas. On
Windows/Mac, the box moves on the canvas with the cursor.
Another idea was to have the interface for the offset tool similar to
the measuring dialog.
Regards,
Marco

Hi Giovanni,
In the box you have to type the distance value and press enter, then
it will set the value to the exact value you typed. But you have to
make sure that the mouse is still pressed and not moved. I agree - it
is a bit difficult to use. Do you have any better suggestions?
The reason why the box is in the bottom left, is that on Linux there
can't be a box following the mouse cursor (some XServer limitation). I
believe that on Windows and OSX the input box follows the mouse - but
I cannot test it since my Windows version still has the GOES 3.2.x
Marco Hugentobler is the developer of the tool - maybe he can comment
on the issues he faced while developing this tool. I am sure he is
also open to suggestions for improvements.

Hi Andreas,
thanks for the explanation.
How about my doubt how to use the tool?
I have also a doubt about how to use the tool:
when I click on a line on the bottom left corner of the QGIS windows I
see I can set manually the offset distance, but it doesn't seems to
have
any effect. I'm again missing something simple?
cheers
