The Cocoa Event Handling Guide says "Mouse events are dispatched by
an NSWindow object to the NSView object over which the event occurred", so I
guess there's a lag/race condition that's putting your view under the mouse
pointer at the moment the event is generated.

It also states (a few times in different wording):


For each dragging sequence, the Application Kit sends a mouseDown: message to a responder object, then sends one or more mouseDragged: messages, and ends the sequence with a mouseUp: message.
<<<<<

While it doesn't spell it out, it's pretty clear they're talking about the same view/responder for all those events.

I think it's implicit that a mouseDown has occurred before a mouseDragged, but I
don't see anything that guarantees they're sent to the same view. In that case,
you should really set a state flag in mouseDown that's checked in mouseDragged.

When I click into a view and drag, it gets all dragging events, even if the cursor is dragged outside its frame. Also, views over which the cursor is dragged during this process, don't get a single -mouseDragged: message.

I don't believe that getting -mouseDragged: without a prior -mouseDown: or following -mouseUp: is intentional.

Markus
