[OpenLayers-Dev] Problems with switching between Google & Yahoo base layers..

Hi all,

I don't have a demonstrable small example but here is what I am 
experiencing.

If I have Google Satellite & Yahoo Satellite as base layers and when I 
switch from Google to Yahoo by clicking through the Layer Switcher, the 
yahoo layer behaves funny. Once the yahoo layer is activated, any clicks 
in Yahoo layer keeps moving (or drifting) the layer south west. It 
behaves as if I dragged the map even though I just clicked. When I tried 
debugging, it seems like it tries to set center on mouseup thinking that 
a drag has happened. But why does it think that I dragged to a different 
center? It could be the problem with pixel to lat/lon conversion issues.

My knowledge of openlayers internals is limited. Has any body seen this 
issue or does anybody have any hypothesis?

The same thing happens with Google Hybrid. Switching from Google 
Satellite to Google Hybrid results in the similar behavior;  the Google 
Hybrid is unusable after the switch with any mouse clicks; it starts 
drifting as if I dragged the map for any mouse click.

Thanks in advance..
