Hi Alexander, If your object is always the First Responder, that would account for its focus ring always being redrawn.
There's a lot of good information available, but you have to look around a bit to find it. Googling for - cocoa draw focus ring - shows some good results. The 2005 thread, "How to draw keyboard focus ring around a custom control?" on Cocoa-dev was my guide when I implemented custom focus rings. (A very belated "thank you" to Sean McBride, Ricky Sharp, Alastair Houghton and Scott Anguish!)
