Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18362.145

Steps to reproduce

While selecting e.g. first line, move cursor outside terminal window (or even client area).

Expected behavior

Selection should stiil be responding to cursor movement. This is how it works on conhost.

Actual behavior

Selection 'freezes' when cursor moves outside window.

This seems quite obviuos but I couldn't find issue describing it so sorry if it's dupe.

It's quite probable we're not doing SetCapture like we do in conhost.exe...
