In the Finder open up a window then click and hold on the title bar. Now activate expose (such as show all windows in the application) and drag with the mouse button held down then release expose. For that window your mouse cursor will be offset from where the cursor activates elements in the window by the click-drag you just performed.

Is this critical to your daily workflow?

Crap. I knew Apple would survive the FireWire of Doom fiasco, but this? They're sunk.

Wow. At first I thought, "Big deal. Would you rather have the cursor move back, or jump back, to where the window is/was prior to ExposŽ?"
But, the problem is deeper than that. There is a disconnect, or lack of sync, between the finder window and the window server. Notice that the window (after ExposŽ) has lost functionality. Nothing is selectable except "Info" and "New Folder". And, you can drag the window by selecting it ANYWHERE.
Now, ExposŽ again, and the window appears where it actually would be based on the mouse movements during ExposŽ, and all is fine.
Not a deal breaker as it requires non-essential key behavior. But, it's a bug, nonetheless. You shouldn't be able to move windows during ExposŽ, but the window server is still keeping track of that movement, it seems.
regards,
MAJ

This happens to other apps than Finder, too. I just tried it with TextEdit. And, in a bug that's actually kind of cool-looking, sheets appear offset from the window.
This shouldn't be too hard for Apple to fix (say, in 10.3.3), but I don't think this will ever actually affect me and mine. Exposéing in the middle of a window drag operation just isn't something I've been dying to do.

good find; I just tried it and it definitely happens. it seems that the cursor position relative the window gets permanently skewed. after "de-exposé-ing", the window can indeed be dragged around with the mouse still held down halfway across the screen. then, trying to close the window by clicking on the close button, the finder thought the click was elsewhere in the window.
i had a problem like this before in panther, but i thought it was just the intellimouse acting wacky. have you filed a bug report...?
cheers..
