[GNC] Mac OS cursor positioning

Hi,

There have been several posts over time (including my own) about 
problems with cursor positioning in Mac OS.

I thought I had this problem solved, but it seems to have come back.

Here are some things that seem to be relevant, in case a developer is 
looking in to it.

i) The "open new windows in tabs" in system preferences is implicated. 
This setting seems to have been changed or reset in Mojave; it's now 
called "prefer tabs when opening documents" (can't remember what it was 
before) and by default it seems to be set to "in full screen only"

ii) GnuCash has a show tab bar option in the window management. Turning 
this on seems to cause problems.

iii) Using the Mac OS option to hide and show the menu bar automatically 
seems to cause problems.

I solved my most current instance of this problem (in GnuCash 3.3) by 
playing around with (i) and (ii).
