macOS: window cannot be moved with custom title bar, resizing still works

[tommycarstensen]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.113.0 (commit cfbea10, arm64)
• OS Version: macOS 26.2 (25C56)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open VS Code on macOS with the default "window.titleBarStyle": "custom".
2. Click and drag any empty area of the title bar, including the space next to the window controls.

Expected: the window moves.
Actual: the window does not move. Resizing from the window edges works normally, and other apps (e.g. Brave) can be dragged as usual.

Setting "window.titleBarStyle": "native" and restarting restores dragging, so the issue appears to be with the custom title bar's drag region.

This looks similar to #231882, which was closed as not planned. Filing again as it still reproduces on the current version.
