Firstly, you do not need to check if tAnimation is nil, since sending a
message to nil is valid in ObjC. So I would personally remove that if() and
just de-indent all the code that's inside it.
Secondly, I *think* what you're running into is the fact that "blocking
mode" means the main thread blocks, and thus does not receive any
distributed notifications. The second snippet of code (the one that works
fine) does not animate on the main thread, thus everything works correctly.
If you want to use NSViewAnimation for some reason (but I wouldn't), then
you can change the mode away from blocking-mode to something more
background-thread-y.
