I have an NSView containing multiple subviews. One of those subviews is transparent and layered on top.

I need to be able to click through this view down to the subviews below (so that the view below gets first responder status), but all the mouse events get stuck on the top view (alpha is 1, because I draw stuff in it - so it should only click through transparent areas).

I actually expected this to work, since normally it does. What's wrong?
