Turns out this results from passing our parent window into ExecuteCodeSegment. I had thought that was what that arg was for, but it turns out it's actually supposed to take a handle to a progress bar, so it can send it PBM_SETPOS (NSIS updates its standard progress bar depending on the progress through the install script). So it makes sense that this is doing something unwanted to our window, probably resetting its size which might cause it to clamp back onscreen. Passing nullptr instead solves this issue.

Verified the issue using the latest Firefox 77.0a1 (03-May-2020) installer on Windows 10x64 and Windows7x64. The window no longer jumps when being dragged at the edge of the screen while the installation is running.
