If we press one of mouse button (lets say LB) while inside the client area of the window and then proceed to move the cursor out of the window we no longer receive the
CursorLeftevent, and if we keep holding the mouse button down and then go back to window we wont getCursorEnteredevent either.this happen because we call
SetCapturemethod when user click in client area, and this will lead to windows to continue tracking mouse position and then just keep sendingWM_MOUSEMOVEevent until we release the button (more information in this url)there are workarounds like manually handle this case like what link above suggested.
I'll send a PR soon with the mentioned fix.
