Title:
  Applications stop receiving touch updates when the finger moves
  outside of the window

Status in mutter package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in mutter source package in Noble:
  Invalid
Status in mutter source package in Oracular:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  A touchscreen input sequence is supposed to "grab" onto the window
  where the action started, so that even when moving the finger outside
  of the window updates are still sent to it. Instead, as the finger
  leaves the surface of the window, that stops receiving all touch
  updates and does not even receive a finish event.

  [ Test Case ]

  0. Log in to a GNOME Wayland desktop session
  1. Open the Nautilus file manager
  2. Navigate to a directory with many files
  3. Switch to the vertical "List View"
  4. Start scrolling vertically with the touchscreen
  5. While scrolling, let the finger leave the surface of the window to its 
right
  7. Verify that Nautilus keeps scrolling even with the finger outside the 
window

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  mutter is the Wayland compositor library that provides graphics and inputs 
for the GNOME desktop, thus is a critical component.
  Problems could manifest with touch input not working anymore, or sudden 
log-out if gnome-shell crashes.
  The change is limited to touchscreen handling, and won't ever affect a system 
without touchscreen.
