Are you talking about commit 31f2d454b34d2ad7bc93486c3bebddf5a1177c6c (or so)?

Are you talking about what happens when you click a DRC violation
entry while zoomed
in on one part of the board, when the violation is off-screen?
Because I still get the
bad behavior in that case: the cross-hair just gets clamped to the
edge of the screen.

Its both irritating to experienced users and much more of an
'intitivity' bug for new ones
because the cross-hair ends up hiding uselessly on edge of screen.
Does this happen
for you?
