Re: Problem with updating NSProgressIndicator

It is working fine for me using Mac OS X 10.5 and Mac OS X 10.4 when compiled with Xcode 2.5 against the 10.4u SDK (not tried any other version of Xcode or SDK). just installed XCode 2.5 and tried the demo project - result is the same, progress freezes. I have a slow computer, maybe the reason
