Hi,
In the past days, I've finalized my patch for the blinking cursor/caret
support into NSTextView. It now works perfectly. However, I think there's
a serious drawing (or flushing) bug in GNUstep gui (or xgps).
For example, when calling, NSView: -setNeedsDisplayInRect, subviews don't
always receive the drawRect message when they *should* be receiving it.
If you move the mouse constantly, they always receive it.
I've created a simple program that shows the bug. It's a simple class that
extends NSView and draw a blinking rectangle every second. When you run
it, move the mouse in the window and you'll see that the drawing events
aren't propagated as they should be.
I can also provide my blinking cursor/caret patch for NSTextView that
shows the problem too.
I'll try to fix the bug into GNUstep gui (or xgps) but any hints or help
would be appreciated.
