In the WebCore tree, we send all mouse down events through the DOM 
first before delivering to the widget, but buttons and text fields go 
into a modal event tracking loop on mouse down. The AppKit button 
control does this for click tracking, so that mousing down in the 
button, moving the mouse out of it, and releasing the mouse does not 
count as a click. The text field does it in case you're going to start 
a drag. In both these cases, we deliver the mouse up and the click on 
return from the modal loop.
