[GRASS-user] Mouse coordinates in Map Window not following GUI settings projection

[Eric Patton]

I am having trouble getting the Grass GUI map window mouse coordinates to
display Lat-Long WGS84 coordinates in the lower-left corner of the display
window.

I checked the GUI settings Projection tab, and it is set to EPSG:4326,
and references /usr/local/share/proj/epsg, but I can't find this file anywhere
on my system.

Here are the closest matches:

cd /usr

find . -name "*epsg*"

Here's my system: (Linux Mint 20.3)

g.version -gre
version=8.3.dev
date=2023
revision=b3ba6c290d
build_date=2023-08-14

My proj installation was installed by Synaptic package manager, in the standard
places, /usr/bin and /usr/share/proj.

Thanks for any helps,
