It is by design, we consider the window to only be actually moved when
you release the button. Before that it's none of the app's business
what the user is doing, the window seemingly moving is just feedback
to the user where it would be if you let go of the mouse. If you press
Escape, the whole operation is aborted and the window is not moved.
