I am sympathetic with your reasoning, but I don't think it's what your users will expect. Most text-entry areas in most apps on most platforms start the text entry at the very top when they are empty, with the text entry advancing downwards.
I suggest that you do not start scrolling your text until enough has been entered by the user that the current line would move below the middle. If you don't agree, Jens' suggestion sounds like it would do what you want. Try implementing it his way, as well as the way I recommend, then trying each implementation out of a few different people who are representative of your target market. -- Don Quixote de la Mancha Dulcinea Technologies Corporation Software of Elegance and Beauty http://www.dulcineatech.com quix...@dulcineatech.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
