This indicates that the NSOutlineView's implementation of this highlight is being done in a dubiously skanky way

Unfortunately this can describe numerous parts of NSTableView & NSOutlineView. Not a knock against the engineers, but this is one critical group of view classes that could really use some attention in future cats. They're a frequent source of frustration when customization is needed.


Hopefully customization has become easier, and frequently less required (ie: the "source list" highlighting style, proper drag and drop feedback, etc). Do you have specific examples of things that are difficult to do which should be easier? I'm interested in knowing what is difficult to customize, or work with.

Graham definitely ran into one thing that should be easier (in recap: how to make the contextual menu apply to the entire table, and not just the selection -- I'll look forward to seeing the bug that was logged).
