Research direction
Start with the linked CodeSandbox reproduction and compare the draggable video behavior in Chrome 78 with the working div, Firefox, or Chrome 77. Trace the relevant react-draggable behavior using the reproduction; done means a video element fed by getUserMedia can be dragged inside Draggable without regression.

Description
Hello, react-draggable maintainers! I think your package is lovely, and we use it for a video call interface in which we have a draggable "video panel" that can be moved around the screen.
However, ever since updating to Chrome 78, we've noticed that <video> tags inside of a Draggable are not being dragged correctly.
Here's a GIF of the behavior I'm seeing -- in green, you can see a "normal" draggable div without a video tag inside. That one works fine. In the black box, there's a draggable div with a video, fed by the getUserMedia API. This one, you can see that I have trouble dragging.

Operating system: OSX Mojave / 10.14.6
Browser version: Version 78.0.3904.70
react-draggable version: Originally noticed on 3.3.2, but was able to reproduce with 4.1.0 as well
I wasn't able to reproduce this behavior on Firefox or in Chrome 77, so I think it might be something recently broken by the latest Chrome update. It used to to work!
Here is a simple reproduction:
