hnrkg, one thing that I think may help the developers to identify the problem is if you could use the program xev to capture the input events that the xserver receives.

For #1, you can run `xev -geometry 900x100-0+120 > ~/xev.txt`. That will give you a 900 px wide and 100 pixel high window at the right hand side of the screen and events are captured as long as the mouse pointer is inside the window. Drag the mouse pointer right inside the window and make it jump all the way to the right, still within the window, by touching the scroll area. Close the window with Alt+F4 (in order to not generate more mouse pointer moving events). Take care to not drag the mouse pointer over the window any more than necessary during this, since it will create noise in the log. Upload xev.txt here.

I don't quite understand #2, but you could probably do something similar. I would anyway recommend focusing on #1 here, since having more than one issue in one bug report is strongly discouraged.
