Any way to manually fix NSTextView's font rendering bug?

2010-04-23 Thread Keith Blount
Hello, I'm looking for a way to fix a minor but unsightly bug in NSTextView (I've reported it as bug ID 7898471, but it may be the same bug as an older one with ID 6987764). It's a bug that seems to have been present since Tiger, so I'd like to find a solution myself rather than wait and hope i

ah, good point. Seems pretty ugly though as you start suggesting that all managed objects support those methods. It only takes a moment to generate a subclass that does this. On 23 Apr 2010, at 11:28, Roland King wrote: > yes there is - and it's in the documentation too > > http://developer.ap

Hi all! First of all shame on me, I didn't read this article entirely (one of my very very bad traits ;-) ), thanks very much though for pointing it out. Given the very good arguments I think it's better to create subclasses. Also thanks to Mike I figured out how to easily create those subclass
