Description

I have only tested this with AIR 1.0; however, I'm sure this functionality worked in beta 3.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Load the project attached to this bug.
2. Run the AIR application.
3. Press and hold the primary mouse button.
4. Click and drag the mouse outside the AIR window. The cursor will follow the mouse.
5. Drag the mouse back into the AIR window, and let go of the mouse.
6. Continue to move the mouse. The cursor will no longer follow the mouse.

Actual Results:
Cursor does not follow the mouse when dragging the mouse outside the AIR window, and then back again.

Expected Results:
The cursor should follow the mouse at all times.

Workaround (if any):
You can get around this issue by listening for MOUSE_LEAVE events and removing the mouse cursor, then re-adding it back when the mouse re-enters the window.
