I don't recall anything about this either. Can you briefly describe the
problem (sorry I don't know what "auto-move" means)?

It seems unlikely that OSProcessPlugin would do anything that affects
cursor behavior or morph positioning, but the latest source for the plugin
is in Monticello at http://www.squeaksource.com/OSProcessPlugin. If you do
"VMMaker updateFromServer" it will (hopefully) give you the latest.
