There are lots of applications that when a window is activated by a mouse click with the mouse over a tracking area, the cursor will change. You do not need to exit and re-enter the tracking area. This should be elementary stuff. But I can't figure out how to do it.

Wow, there are apparently issues with NSTrackingArea. Quincey Morris wrote "The NSTrackingArea Report" in February 2008.

I did not see my particular issue in Quincey's report. It would seem that all the apps that handle this correctly (Safari, TextEdit, Pages, etc.) do not use NSTrackingArea but use the legacy methods or something else. But what is strange is that according to the documentation "The underlying implementation for the legacy methods is based on NSTrackingArea..."
