Hi, if you are using a window in scroll mode, there is actually some special trickery going on to scroll the window (the window doesn't move, but drawing inside of it is offset), which probably isn't being taken into account when you ask for the location on the screen. Please file a bug report and we'll try to get it fixed at some point, though I can't guarantee when.
