Hi,
sorry for the delay and thanks for the response, I moved house. Anyway, this
all worked fine and now the text while being edited is taking crossing paths
into consideration and writes around them the way I wanted to. But it discards
the layout whenever I end editing. I first thought this was due to a call of
removeLayoutManager, but also after I removed this line it keeps on ignoring
all layout efforts and just writes across all paths.
- (NSRect)lineFragmentRectForProposedRect:(NSRect)proposedRect
sweepDirection:(NSLineSweepDirection)sweepDirection
movementDirection:(NSLineMovementDirection)movementDirection
remainingRect:(NSRect *)remainingRect
…is stopped being called after editing ended. Why? How can I freeze the layout
in the view for after editing ended?
