Your application window visibility is clipped by its parent, in this case the root window. Also, the cursor is strictly bounded within the dimensions of the root window.
You'll need to write a function to pan the app window wrt the root window. It can be triggered by pointer position or create a smaller, fixed position readonly window and watch for motion notify events.
