i hope you have the service packs.

not 100% sure.. but i would think the mouse_x and mouse_y co-ords 
should always be the last (valid) values generated.
regardless of which driver you use, that is to say all drivers should 
act the same.

I think you may have found a bug.


As to the   is_mouse_inside_window()   this can be done yourself with a 
little bit of code.
I can think of 99.9% of the code already in my head.
If you really need it, i can assist you in writing it, (it would be 
about 10 lines of code, and require 1 or 2 win32 functions).
