I have found the problem which causes this strange behavior.
It is caused by the insertion of the following into the
gmodel generated by nib2gmodel:
"Object 15" = {
action = "submenuAction:";
image = "Object 16";
isEnabled = YES;
isa = NSMenuItem;
keyEquivalent = "";
representedObject = nil;
state = 0;
tag = 0;
target = "Object 17";
title = Info;
};
"Object 16" = {isa = NSImage; name = NSMenuArrow; size = "{width = 12;
height = 9}"; };
Each menu item has the image value set if it has a submenu.
This causes the following code in NSMenuItemCell to draw an
extra arrow before (to the left of) the menu title:
- (void) drawInteriorWithFrame: (NSRect)cellFrame inView: (NSView*)controlView
{
.
.
.
.
if (mcell_imageToDisplay)
{
mcell_imageWidth = [mcell_imageToDisplay size].width;
}
// Draw the state image
if (mcell_stateImageWidth > 0)
[self drawStateImageWithFrame: cellFrame inView: controlView];
// Draw the image
if (mcell_imageWidth > 0)
[self drawImageWithFrame: cellFrame inView: controlView];
// Draw the title
if (mcell_titleWidth > 0)
[self drawTitleWithFrame: cellFrame inView: controlView];
// Draw the key equivalent
if (mcell_keyEquivalentWidth > 0)
[self drawKeyEquivalentWithFrame: cellFrame inView: controlView];
_backgroundColor = nil;
}
The arrow after (on the right) is drawn by the code in the call:
// Draw the key equivalent
if (mcell_keyEquivalentWidth > 0)
[self drawKeyEquivalentWithFrame: cellFrame inView: controlView];
from above. The image setting in the gmodel is, therefore, not needed.
To test my hypothesis I created a test app and nib and ran nib2gmodel on it.
I ran the app and saw the menu problem. I then went into the gmodel
file and eliminated all of the "image" lines from the NSMenuItem entries
and ran the application again. The menus were rendered correctly after
that change.
I will make the necessary code fixes in nib2gmodel and submit a
patch.
Thanks, GJC
