Thanks for all of the replies. I do use the debugger, but even with the debugger I couldn't figure out why it is looping. Obviously, there is something I am not understanding which is why I am writing to cocoa-dev.
I also removed the NSLog statement but it is still looping. I can't see it in the run log but I my G5 fans start wailing and when I step through it , it loops. Here is the whole sequence in the debugger:' The drawRect method is being called originally when I go to the tab in the tabView where the custom View is located.

Maybe the problem is obvious to you guys but it is not to me. Any help would be great. _________________________________________________________________ Use video conversation to talk face-to-face with Windows Live Messenger. http://www.windowslive.com/messenger/connect_your_way.html?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_Refresh_messenger_video_072008_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
