In, AppKit, mouse moved events are sent to the first responder and passed the
responder chain. But WebKit needs them even for views that are not in the
responder chain. That’s why WebKit responds to mouse moved notifications
instead.

That function calls a private NSWindow method to tell NSWindow to post
notifications for mouse events. It’s just a single method call.

I think you should reduce your program to a simple test case that shows the
mouse move events not being handled. Mouse moved events do work in simple
browsers made with WebKit as well as in Safari, so there must be something
different about your program.
