Description
**Context:**
- Playwright Version: 1.29.1
- Operating System: Windows
- Node.js version: 16.15.1
- Browser: Chromium
**Describe the bug**
Step to reproduce
1. Run ´npx playwright codegen´
2. In the automated browser window, go to https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_draganddrop.asp
3. Try to drag the logo in the first box to the second box
The inspector window only registers `click` event on the selector where the mouse was released. No `dragTo` event was registered
Is there any way to achieve this?

Research direction
Start by running `npx playwright codegen` and reproducing the drag operation at the linked W3Schools page in Chromium. Trace how codegen records mouse interactions and compare the result with the expected `dragTo` action. Done means the inspector recognizes the drag-and-drop gesture and generates an appropriate action instead of only a click.
