The results are not correct and the value changes widely (without any apparent logic) if I make slight mouse movements. This only in the Windows version.

I have see this happen when the data is in a projected coordinate system, but qgis thinks that it is in lat/long. This happens when qgis's default coordinate system is lat/long, and the loaded file has no associated projection information.

Qgis now checks for the mismatched projection problem and warns the user, and suggests a solution (set an appropriate projection for the map using the Settings:Project Properties dialog).
Please try the next available version of qgis and see if this helps.

What is the layer source projection? What is the projects projection? Is projection turned on? Please attach your test layer, if possible.

Worksforme in 0.9 on win32. If any more info is available, I'm glad to re-open (see above).
We really need more details on your problem to have a chance of fixing it.
