Yes, and it works in the majority of cases. It's the cases where the programmer does something extra (that causes a redisplay), and doesn't understand why it has side effects (redrawing, and subsequently delegate callbacks). There is no nib cleanup code; the nib doesn't have any way of zero-ing out references. If you do have a case where you think AppKit should be cleaning it up, then please submit it to bugreporter.apple.com -- it is possible that in some cases we may be able to make it work better. -corbin _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
