haha okay.

i figured the issue out at least (i think).

It's because i use Me._Container = $hView
it seems the $hView identifier "View" is triggering View_Draw() but not
View_MouseMove() on GTK
I used
Object.Attach(Me._Container, Me, "ViewBox")

So I'm now getting ViewBox_MouseMove() and View_Draw()
all seems well.
