setPointerCapture causes uncaught error

[Amzd]

Version

• Phaser Version: v3.90.0

• Operating system: macOS

• Browser: *

Description

I would like to allow users to drag things around and continue the drag even if the mouse (temporarily) leaves the window. The API for this is setPointerCapture. But when I use this API, Phaser crashes with Uncaught TypeError: can't access property "x", n is null as soon as the mouse leaves the window.

Example Test Code

https://codepen.io/Amzd/pen/WbQjJEQ

The important part of the codepen is:

this.input.on('pointerdown', function(e) {
    document.querySelector("canvas").setPointerCapture(e.pointerId);
})

Additional Information

There is an alternative API called pointerLock which Phaser does support but it gives a popup "example.com has taken control of your pointer. Press Esc to take back control" while setPointerCapture does not, because it only captures until you release the mouse.
