Yes , i see.
But if you use the above formula and the matrix values are constant
there should not be any jumps.

So i think your matrix values are changing from one move-event to the other.
You should check that.

No, not a mistake.

I simply don't know where the fractional part comes from then.
(i'm used to X11 events where x,y are ints)
