Photoshop CS4 cursor alignment in Transformation inaccurate

Question

Hi there,
Noticed that the cursor in PS CS4 doesn't align precisely over the transformation bounding box, either the corners or the sides. I've used both a Wacom Intuos3, Intuos4 and a standard mouse and the Transformation prompts (either scaling arrows, or perspective) doesn't appear if the cursor is directly above the control handle. Rather you need to hover the cursor pixels away from the handles in order for the prompt to be visible, let alone getting the transformation to work accurately. (I am aware that Rotation doesn't kick in unless the cursor is further out of the bounding box).
This is a rather hit-and-miss process, and sometimes the transformation don't kick in at all. Zooming in doesn't help either. I have updated all patches with Intuos3 and 4, and the current PS is 11.0.1.
When I launch PS CS3, everything is back to normal. Transformations are more accurate as it's easier to see and manipulate the transformations as I can actually see what I'm doing. Is this a normal bug? And anyone found a way to sort it out? Any advice greatly appreciated.
