onMouseMove and onLButtonUp doesn't trigger when mouse is outside viewport

On Mac, when the mouse button is down, onMouseMove and onLButtonUp are received even if the mouse is outside the viewport or hovering a dialog box. That's not the case on Windows.

Because the mouse can be released when the cursor is outside the viewport on Windows it is a challenge to detect when a click+drag has ended. If a mouse button was pressed down in the viewport then it should capture and trigger mouse events even when outside the viewport.

Hi Fredosixx,

I tried to reproduce this with latest SketchUp version (SU2025.0) and SU2023.0 on MacOS (Sonoma) and looks like this is working as expected. Is this still an issue for you?

Thanks
