VICE 3.7.1 testers needed (Mouse emulation)

So!

Apparently we have a strange bug related to mouse emulation on Windows systems. It would be great if all of you could do a quick test:

- grab the 3.7.1 release from https://github.com/VICE-Team/svn-mirror/releases/tag/3.7.1
- start it and reset settings (just incase it picks up settings from another release)
- enable 1351 mouse emulation for port 1
- run the following program: Mousetest V2
- now enable mouse grab (alt-m) and move around the mouse

Now if that does NOT move the 1351 icon as expected, please report that, and give some details about your system. In particular interesting is the exact OS (eg "Windows 10 22H2"), your graphics card and driver version, and your screen resolution...

Some people reported it does not work for them - while it works for others. This is very strange, we could not yet determine what the systems where it does not work have in common - hence this request.

Thanks in advance!

OK Good news: I can reproduce. And i can explain why it works for some and not for others: it depends on which side the primary monitor is located!

Please confirm:
- primary monitor "left", its broken
- primary monitor "right", it works fine

Also macOS and Linux users, please try this as well, so we can see if this is a bug in generic code or OS specific.

I did some further testst and for me it only works when I have only one monitor connected. As far as I can see it doesn't matter whether the primary screen (or whatever spot VICE is on) is configured left or right.
Because of stubborn hardware I was not able to test different resolutions, though.

ubuntu 22.04: 2160p left, 1440p right (primary)
3.7.1 and r43064 are both fine

Did some testing with moving about and screwing around with settings (and resetting them, etc) and works fine for me now.
Even through my docking station with dodgy drivers.
Good job, VICE people! \o/
