Description

When the mouse cursor goes outside the canvas element, press, release and position data is not coming.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how GLFW3 captures mouse events in Emscripten. The issue is that events outside the canvas are not received. Check the event listener attachment; likely it is only bound to the canvas element. To fix, attach the event listeners to the document or window to capture events outside the canvas, while still filtering for GLFW window coordinates relative to the canvas.
