[QScintilla] Bug report: Caret position is incorrect if window dragged across monitors

[cowwoc]

Hi Scott,

I'm not affiliated with TortoiseHg. I'm just an end-user. As such, I 
have no idea how to create a minimal testcase outside of TortoiseHg. 
When I filed a bug report at 
https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg/issues/5086/caret-position-is-incorrect-if-window 
I attached a video demonstrating the problem. Hopefully that'll help.

If you guys have a stand-alone application I could run, I can try 
reproducing the problem with it as well.

Thanks,
Gili
