Ok, others said this also so the system must be retaining it elsewhere for
various reasons. The fact dealloc is never called after DisposeControl is
confusing though since other NSView's worked just fine...

The how does it work? My observation is simple: when the NSTextView is created
and focused the mouse handler does not receive events. After I call
DisposeControl on the HICocoaView the view is removed (no longer visible) but
the mouse handler continues to not receive events. They must be connected some
how.
