Could you please triage? Not sure who owns pointer lock.

We own pointerlock. Ella has been working on the related issues recently.

Francis is releasing the pointerlock a reasonable behavior?

We have some inconsistencies on Mac as well when we are in pointerlock and Cmd+shift+4 will create an area selection. Firefox doesn't behave very well on Mac either. I guess this behavior is mainly undefined from the spec point of view.
For our app, we detect loss of pointerlock and pops up a dialog to request pointerlock again.  So it would be a little odd.

Having said that, this is not really an important usecase for us.  Reporting this mainly as an FYI.
