Holding down the mouse button, let the cursor move in.

[Albert-Walner]

hi, first if all, thanks for this great workaround which is nearly perfect!

here is how you can reproduce the issue: if you move a window by holding down the ALT-key and the left mouse button you are able to move the cursor into the dead area. If i am unlucky, ill never get the window back from there.

Another thing to add, this only seems to happen when the mouse is being held down from within an x client. So, if, while using gnome3 without nautilus managing the desktop (or any lightweight wm without a desktop-as-a-folder metaphor), holding down the mouse button from clicking on the root won't have any effect.

I can also get the mouse to move into the void while any 'popup' is open (i.e. right click desktop/taskbar or any application menu) -- at least using manjaro XFCE (latest).
