I couldn't find an explanation for the need for cursor warping support, someone in Lobsters said it might be so the "cursor could move with a moving object" which doesn't immediately resonate with me, as a frequent CAD, even LiCAD, user. Hmm.
Chances are "cursor warping" here refers to how "cursor locking" is typically done in win32 (every time the cursor moves, record the distance and reset it to the original location). Ironically, in the announcement about cursor warping being released, they say that it's not reliable for that use case, but that a "cursor lock" was already implemented. So it would be funny if KiCAD was just too stuck in Windows mentality to realize that what they needed was already supported.
