Textual 2.0.4 plus ghostty "fakes" escape press when mouse crosses window border #5559

Description

@davep

With this code:

from textual.app import App

class WeirdEscapeApp(App[None]):

    BINDINGS = [("escape", "escape")]

    def action_escape(self) -> None:
        self.notify("Escape was pressed!")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    WeirdEscapeApp().run()

I see this effect:

Screen.Recording.2025-02-19.at.10.56.58.mov

Testing with Textual 1.0.0 I don't see this. On the other hand I can't recreate it with iTerm and Textual 2.0.4 (haven't had the chance to test other terminals).

While I appreciate this might be specific to a particular pretty new terminal, I thought it worth a heads-up at least.
