Peter. Yes, bracketing the calls removes the flicker. But as far as the correct solution goes: There might not be any other window which I should make key. In that case the panel should simply resign the key focus and let application handle the events. It seems this will be the solution for now. T

Re: NSNotificationCenter removeObserver NOT working

Hi Valentin, I think you're hoping that passing nil for the observer acts as a wildcard? It does not, check the docs. "Observer to remove from the dispatch table. Specify an observer to remove only entries for this observer. Must not be nil, or message will have no effect." -Ken On Thu, Sep 4,
