Sounds like your tracking area overlaps the 3 pixel wide grow zone tracking area. It's an interesting area - if you do a hitTest as the mouse is entering the window it won't hit your content in that zone, but it will if you start from > 3 pixels in and move out.

But if you're only updating the cursor, why not try addCursorRect:cursor: ? Presumably that's smart enough to know about the grow zone.

Subject: trackingAreas can be snuck up on without triggering?

I have a view for which I am adding a tracking area so that I can update the cursor. The view entirely fills my window and is the only view in the window's content view.

The tracking area is being registered thusly:

- (void) awakeFromNib
{
    NSTrackingArea* trackingArea = [[NSTrackingArea alloc ] initWithRect:[self bounds]
              options:NSTrackingCursorUpdate|NSTrackingActiveInActiveApp
              owner:self
              userInfo:nil];
    [self addTrackingArea:trackingArea];
}

and I have defined in my view:

- (void) cursorUpdate:(NSEvent *)event
{
    NSLog(@"cursorUpdate: %@", [NSDate date]);
    [[NSCursor openHandCursor] set];
}

If I whip the mouse into the window's content area, my cursorUpdate method is called and I see the correct cursor. If I slowly sneak the mouse into my window's content area, I see the window resize cursor for a moment as I cross into the window content area (I'm running Lion), then... nothing. The cursor reverts to the arrow cursor, and my cursorUpdate: method is not called, even though I am well into my view's rectangle.

If I inset my view from the boundaries of the window a bit (16-ish pixels), things behave as expected.

What am I doing wrong?
