The only docs I can find still state the opposite of what happens these days (https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/cocoa/conceptual/eventoverview/HandlingMouseEvents/HandlingMouseEvents.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000060i-CH6-SW17):

Hmm.
I created a sample project with a single NSWindow and content view subclass like so:
@implementation TestView

- (void)mouseDown:(NSEvent *)theEvent
{
    NSLog(@"Mouse down");
}

/*
- (BOOL)acceptsFirstMouse:(NSEvent *)theEvent
{
    return YES;
} */

@end

It seems to behave as the docs suggest on OS X 10.9.
Perhaps your app has some additional event handling in place.
