Thanks a lot! Following your suggestion I have added WebView to a  
NSWindow like this:

WebView * webView = [[WebView alloc]  
initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(0,0,800,800)
                                            frameName:@"myFrame"
                                            groupName:@"myGroup"];

   NSWindow * window = [[NSWindow alloc]  
initWithContentRect:NSMakeRect(0,0,800,800)
                                                    
styleMask:NSBorderlessWindowMask
                                                      
backing:NSBackingStoreNonretained defer:NO];
   [window setContentView:webView];

This solved the problem.

I will report this problem.

Thanks again and best regards,
