Public bug reported:

Cellwriter is an amazing tool, and I use it every day on my Thinkpad
tablet... but for some reason it kept stopping working, and I'd have to
restart it before it would accept writing again. Today I ran it from a
terminal just to see if it prints anything, and got a message about
disabling Xinput because of invalid coordinates. I grepped the source
for that message, and found the problem.

The attached patch makes it constrain the stroke to inside of the box,
rather than disabling Xinput just because I've penned off the edge of
the box, a very common occurance indeed. I can't understand why it
wasn't written this way to begin with. Hmmm. Well, it is now, at least
in my copy.

Now when I pen too far and go outside the grid, it keeps working even if
it can't recognize the sloppy writing. I can try again.
