Excellent!! That resolves limiting the dragged item to the rectangle, however, the mouse still can leave the drag area. If the mouse button is released outside of the rectangle, the mouse_move and mouse_up events does not fire (as expected), and you can be left with a floating item, in this case, a button. So, can I keep the mouse within the same rectangle, only while dragging?
