Re: [4/7] kernel32/tests: Demonstrate an input event handling peculiarity with WriteConsoleInputW.

Hi Andrew,

I think the test should be enhanced by checking the information about mouse
position
it seems that windows coalesce two mouse messages, but does it also occur
when the position is different (a cursory look seems to indicate that you
resend the same coordinate for mouse move)
I'd expect coalesce operation to happen only if coordinates are the same

A+

A quick test suggests that changing the mouse event coordinates doesn't
prevent the coalescing behavior. I think I'll have to examine whether
changing other MOUSE_EVENT_RECORD fields results in different queuing
behavior, so I figure that I'll send a later patch with additional tests.
