Yes, it seems that there are actually three states: * -setIgnoresMouseEvents: has never been called, so the window's transparency governs whether it responds to mouse events. * The last call to -setIgnoresMouseEvents: specified YES, meaning mouse events are ignored * The last call to -setIgnoresMouseEvents: specified NO, meaning mouse events are received even for a transparent window. In the older AppKit release notes <https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#releasenotes/Cocoa/AppKitOlderNotes.html>, it says: > We fixed -setIgnoresMouseEvents: so that it works more reliably for opaque > windows that want to be transparent to mouse events, and also works for > transparent windows that want to receive mouse events.

You should file a bug against the documentation about that.
