This should have been fixed in my gtk+ tree, and is fixed via a
rewrite of gdk coordinate translations in gtk+ master (2.19 and
subsequently the 2.20 release).  Are you sure you are running a recent
mono/gtk-sharp for OS X?

This too was fixed in my gtk+ tree.

This was a problem with the coordinate translations I mentioned above.
 The fix in gtk+ master is ultimately better than the one in my gtk+
tree because it does not require as many flushes of the buffers.

Are you using the ige-mac-integration?
