Description

OS: Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.5
Tiled version 0.13.0

**Expected Result**
When I middle-click-drag in the background Tiled window, the operation should register as a drag operation, and scroll around the map area according to my mouse position, then release the drag when the mouse button is released.

**Actual Result**
When Tiled is in the background, and I middle-click-drag into the main tile-display area to drag it around, Tiled does not register the middle-mouse click as a drag operation but rather a "jump to clicked location" action. At this point, the application stays in the background.

Further, if I left-click anywhere in the Tiled window at this point, Tiled becomes the active window, and the cursor becomes a permanent 'drag' icon that cannot be de-selected. The only way to get around this is to close and reopen the application.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue on Mac OS X Yosemite with Tiled 0.13.0 by middle-click-dragging into the main tile-display area while the window is in the background. Start by tracing the middle-mouse handling for that area; done means the background drag scrolls the map, releases normally, and does not leave a permanent drag cursor.
