That's not my experience. If I just add a timer for the 
NSEventTrackingRunLoopMode, the only time that timer fires is when the 
run loop is in event tracking mode, which is what I would expect. In 
the NSDefaultRunLoopMode, that timer doesn't fire at all. Are you 
doing something somewhere else to make this happen, or am I missing 
something?
