void UngrabMouse()

Remarks

Event Sequence: UnGrabbingMouse → (if not cancelled) → UnGrabbedMouse

Behavior:

• If no view currently has the grab, this method does nothing.
• If UnGrabbingMouse is cancelled, the grab remains active.
• After ungrab, MouseEnter/MouseLeave events are updated for views under the mouse.

Typical Call Sites: In OnMouseEvent(Mouse) when handling LeftButtonReleased or click events to end a drag operation.

Auto-Ungrab: For views with MouseHighlightStates or MouseHoldRepeat enabled, ungrab is called automatically on click events. See NewMouseEvent(Mouse) for details.
