Description
if you create an ofxGui ofxPanel and move your mouse over it, the ofxPanel captures the mouse event somehow and the mouse position doesn't get updated via mouseX/mouseY.
however, the ofGetMouseX()/ofGetMouseY() still works, which makes me think this has to do with the multi-window features.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with an ofxGui ofxPanel and compare mouseX/mouseY with ofGetMouseX()/ofGetMouseY() while hovering over the panel. Trace the mouse-event and multi-window handling used by ofxPanel; done means mouseX and mouseY update consistently over the panel.
