Research direction

Reproduce the issue by binding an input to the left mouse button, clicking to move focus to another BizHawk window, and checking whether the input remains pressed. Trace the focus and mouse-input handling reached by that scenario; done means the input is released or reset when focus changes, without breaking normal mouse bindings.
