Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior on Windows 7 with mpv 0.25.0 and the input.conf entry MOUSE_BTN1 quit. Trace how a held mouse button is handled when the cursor leaves the mpv window, then verify that releasing it outside does not execute the assigned command while normal in-window input still works.
