The user should be able to use this custom cursor over a PDFView, a UIScrollView, etc. However, I need the cursor only in one window. Later the user can leave this mode and go back to the normal behaviour.

 This is still very vague, so I don't think I have enough information to help you.

 The problem might be that you have overlapping tracking regions, where one is fully contained inside the other. I think NSTrackingArea doesn't like that (it's been a while, so I might be mis-remembering).

 I'm not sure if there's a way to remove or move the other tracking areas, but that seems like a skanky hack. You can't handle this in a generic way without risking unexpected behaviour from the views involved.

 That said, depending on what views you're dealing with, you might have luck with overriding its parent view's hitTest method.

PS -  I'm a bit confused about your code, as it contains mentions of iPhone and you mention UIScrollView ... but iOS doesn't have a mouse ... ? Typos?
