        Point p2 = e.GetPosition(btn);
        btn.Margin = new Thickness(0, p.Y - p2.Y + p.Y - prePoint.Y, 0, 0);
        prePoint = e.GetPosition(this);

Answer 1

Because mouse move event fires when mouse is in border control. I think you need add mouse move event for window not for border control

Answer 2

Just Capture the mouse when it is inside the border and release it after task is completed, else it will stick. OR acc. to your code it might be like this ->

bool state = false;
Point prePoint;

private void btn_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (state)
{
    Point p = e.GetPosition(this);
    Point p2 = e.GetPosition(btn);
    btn.Margin = new Thickness(0, p.Y - p2.Y + p.Y - prePoint.Y, 0, 0);
    prePoint = e.GetPosition(this);
    // Capture Mouse here ! as far as i think. !!!
    Mouse.Capture(this.ColorPlane, CaptureMode.Element);
}
else
{
    // Release Mouse here ! as far as i think. !!!
    Mouse.Capture(null);
}
}
