From Q&A #1355:

Technical Q&A QA1355
Why aren't my tracking rects working?
Q: I'm trying to implement tracking rectangles so that I can recieve - mouseEntered: and -mouseExited: messages and provide visual feedback to the user. I've sent my view an - addTrackingRect:owner:userData:assumeInside:message, but it seems to have no effect. A: This symptom usually results from trying to set tracking rectangles before your view has been added to a window.

Although NSView implements the - addTrackingRect:owner:userData:assumeInside: method, the list of tracking rectangles is kept by the window, not the view. When your - initWithFrame: method is executed, your view is not yet associated with any window, so the view can't actually set any tracking rects.

A better place to send your -addTrackingRect:.. messages is in a - viewDidMoveToWindow: or -awakefromNib method.
