I too find any movement of mouse cursor (and crosshair) which is not 
strictly mouse driven quite irritating.

A click on a pin number in the netlist window launches a very well visible 
(almost obnoxious) location hint. Maybe, the DRC should use the same 
technique. While at it, it would be nice if there was a fool proof, 
intuitive way to stop the hinting animation. How about the escape key?

marked as "found". The found colour is not necessarily purple. 
BTW, this does indeed help a lot.
