1. With the mouse inside the view, a keyboard shortcut is entered to bring up the panel.

2. Move the mouse outside the view, and then close the panel (with keyboard shortcut, window close box, or with the menu, it does not matter).

3. Move the mouse back inside the view and mouse moved tracking has stopped. That is the problem. Mouse moved tracking should be active but it is not.

4. Move the mouse outside the view and back in again and now mouse tracking is active again.

You likely need to use the NSTrackingAssumeInside option. The actual behavior of this option is not as documented. IIRC, without this option the tracking isn't going to start reliably until you exit and re-enter the area.


Thanks for looking at this but unfortunately the suggestion did not work.

My application is document based with an inspector panel similar to this.

     http://borkware.com/rants/inspectors/

At step 3 above the document window is key and the view contained there in is the first responder but mouse moved tracking does not work. Mouse moved tracking works if you exit and re-enter the view.

Various NSTrackingAreaOptions produce the following results.

     NSTrackingActiveWhenFirstResponder: should work but does not.

NSTrackingAssumeInside: using this modifier does not help, same problem.

     NSTrackingActiveInKeyWindow: same problem.

NSTrackingActiveInActiveApp: fixes the problem but with the side effect that tracking is active all the time now (when the app is active).
