I'm not sure what state pointer grabs/confinement is in but I know bschaefer has been working on it.

Just on a related note -- GTK, X11, and probably any toolkit requires pointer grab support without confining the cursor location. The use case is to close a pop-up menu; the user clicks outside the menu and that click event must still go to the menu surface (which holds a pointer grab) (see bug 1506713).

Hmm, slightly confusing... This bug is a duplicate of bug 1590099 fixed in Mir 0.24.0.

However the use case I mentioned in comment #1 seemingly won't be solved by that. And probably needs more work.
