What would you expect to happen when leaving the globe while dragging?
Currently dragging follows the mouse, i.e. the globe is moved such that the
place where the drag operation starts is kept under the mouse cursor
(optionally keeping the north pole at the top according to your preferences).
This cannot be done anymore when you leave the globe with the cursor. I see a
couple of options:

When the mouse leaves the globe (small zoom level):
- stop dragging (current approach)
- execute the appropriate move left/right etc action repeatedly, possibly
fixing the mouse position
- Repeatedly execute the last movement delta, i.e. start some kind of automatic
globe rotation

When leaving the map widget (large zoom level):
- stop dragging (current approach)
- Repeatedly execute the last movement delta, i.e. start some kind of automatic
map movement
- Do it similar to okular when dragging PDF documents out of the window (please
try if you don't know what happens): The mouse re-appears at the opposite site
of the widget, dragging continues (may be counterintuitive because at that
point the position-follows-mouse approach is not true anymore)
