this is much better than the current situation; however, doesn't the
crosshair follow the mouse? won't attempting to point at the crosshair
move it?

mind you, this may not be too big of an issue (you still have the
supposed violation centered and highlighted)

I'm not sure about others, but I find having the mouse pointer jump to
arbitrary places ... disconcerting

also, remember that at least Linux window managers are pretty adamant
about focus stealing prevention[1] , so when you click the violation the
mouse would jump somewhere, but the DRC window will stay on top, and it
may cover the place it's trying to point at anyway, so moving the mouse
is meaningless.

[1] with good reason - I remember pidgin windows popping up while I was
typing in a terminal, for instance - the person on the other end would
be pretty confused when they got half of a long one-liner as a response
to whatever they asked
