With a floating panel, clicks around the edge of it while it's floating are supposed to be redirected to the closest point on the panel itself. At the moment they are not.

Git commit da2e891e740e65e0caffaa82735444419d3981ac by Nate Graham, on behalf of David Redondo. Committed on 19/01/2024 at 16:18. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Restore Fitts' law for the panel This is basically a revert of 21a1b654fe470437a4ff7954b370cf5a88a7c98d. The justificaiton is correct the mask needs to be in local coordinates this is/was achieved via mapFromGlobal. The problem was that at various points the obtained geometry was intersected with the screen geometry. Now that is is fixed we actually want to use screenPanelRect as the input region which includes the area around the floating panel.
