Normally that means you did not capture the mouse. Both XLib and GDI
have "mouse capture" API's. I would image Mac does to. In fpGUI I had
problems you describe, and enabling mousecapture/mouserelease solved
it - no matter how fast you move the mouse.

In X11 it's possible without programmer intervension. Alt+Click
anywhere on any window and then move the mouse without releasing the
buttons. I think 99.9% of window managers support this.
