I ran into exactly the same problem; my view was in a transparent,
borderless, and nonactivating panel. It didn't get mouse moved
events, and tracking rectangles didn't work either. (My problem was
that I wanted to change the cursor when it was inside my view, but
it never worked).
I eventually concluded that "Cocoa doesn't expect you to be
interested in mouse moved events or setting the cursor for a window
that's not active" and gave up. I suspected at the time that it was
the "nonactivating" property of the panel that was causing the issue.
If you get any further, I'd be keen to hear what you find out.
That doesn't sound very promising.
One thing I didn't try so far is - instead of trying to overlay the
WebView - make it draw into an off-screen buffer which I then use to
paint my own view's background. Of course that comes with its own set
of problems (coordinating the view sizes). Some of the problems are
the same as with overlays, just the other way round (view resizing).
Some I'm not even aware of - I'm sure of that.
I have no idea how to do that, or if it's a futile attempt. I also
don't like the whole idea particularly much because it just smells
like a troublesome hack. Even more so as WebView -drawRect doesn't do
the drawing so I don't know how to make it draw exactly when I want it
and where I want it.
If someone has input on how to go about this, I'd be more than happy
to hear your insight.

Markus
