Thanks. > You've truncated the stack trace Full stack trace appended below from when the [showWindow] message is sent. > Could it be that the window has a minimum or maximum size that's conflicting > with the size the view wants to be? There’s a minimum size set that’s much smaller than the View size. There’s no maximum size set for the Window. In fact, this problem only started to occur because in the last update to the app I changed a previously fixed-sized window to be resizable. After release, I realised I’d carelessly overlooked setting constraints on one of the textViews in a 3-tab tabview so that one of them didn't scale with the window (call me a luddite, but I still yearn for the old days of springs and struts; never had so much trouble with layout since AutoLayout…;p ). I’ve been assuming its that tabView that’s causing the problem, but even removing all those constraints doesn’t avoid the issue. > You could break on the exception Bear with me. My debugging-foo doesn’t extend much beyond logging and a few basic exceptions, but I don’t think this is possible for the simple reason no exception is raised on my build machine. I have some vague notion that I can attach the Clang debugger in Terminal to a running process, maybe on my 10.9 machine— is that possible? A Complete Idiot’s Guide (or link to…) would be welcome here, if so. > or set a breakpoint on -[NSView(NSConstraintBasedLayout) > engine:willBreakConstraint:dueToMutuallyExclusiveConstraints:]. Not sure I’m still following along. Are we talking symbolic breakpoint here? I tried that, but the app just builds and runs fine on 10.11. > Either way, select that frame of the stack.

Sure, I know what frames and stacks are, but I don’t understand where/how/when I’m supposed to be selecting these frames and stacks in the debugger when no debug session appears in Xcode. Or are you suggesting I export the project to my 10.9 install and run it from Xcode there? In theory I could do that (I think there’s an old Xcode install on that machine), but I’m not sure if the project will build if it was made in 10.11, will it? Hmm…I know I could just revert back to the last commit before I made these changes and start all over again testing step by step, but there’s a lot of other work in here I don’t really want to recapitulate if i can avoid it. Appreciate any further thoughts!
