I've tested this a few ways, now, and can't reproduce it. Are you sure the 
cursor didn't move in the session you returned to while you weren't in it? If 
the cursor moves in console one while you're in console two then console one's 
cursor tracking will bring you to it's cursor location when you return to it.
