Smit BarmaseandAnthony Eid 7a3199f7f2 gpui_macos: Improve mouse tracking for normal windows (#64234)
To reproduce:

1. Place Safari over part of Zed, then focus Zed.
2. Right-click Safari to open its context menu, then left-click Safari
anywhere in it.
3. Move the pointer over Safari where it covers the Zed. Zed shows hover
effects underneath.

Use a view tracking area and disable `acceptsMouseMovedEvents` for
normal macOS windows. This addresses hover effects on covered content
when the pointer moves over another window.

[Chromium also requests mouse movement through tracking
areas](https://github.com/chromium/chromium/blob/5a43095e95ffe566d1512b9d67d534e3ae05b975/components/remote_cocoa/app_shim/bridged_content_view.mm#L436-L465).
A search of its macOS window/view code found no explicit use of
`acceptsMouseMovedEvents`, which [defaults to
`false`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nswindow/acceptsmousemovedevents).

Tracking stays enabled in unfocused windows while the app is active.

After:

Release Notes:

- [GPUI] Fixed mouse tracking on macOS so moving the pointer over
another app’s window no longer triggers hover effects in covered GPUI
windows.
- Fixed an issue on macOS where moving the pointer over another app
could trigger hover effects in a Zed window underneath it.

Licensing

Zed source code is licensed primarily under GPL-3.0-or-later, with Apache-2.0 components where marked.

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
