Because I didn't type SPC, since you never mentioned it before.

When I try SPC now, it does move the mouse pointer to the Ediff frame,
but only if the mouse is not on another Emacs frame (or on a window
that belongs to another Windows program).  So I'm left wondering why
would you have the mouse outside any frame at this point?  If I
understood you correctly, we are discussing a situation when a user
moves the mouse across the differences (displayed in an Emacs frame in
two adjacent windows) while she reads the differences.

I understood your arguments the first time, they just don't convince
me.

But I'm not the Ediff maintainer, so it's just my personal opinion.
Michael, are you there? can you comment on the issues raised in this
thread regarding Ediff's use of tooltips?
