Dear list,

I have an NSTextView subclass which I've set up to highlight matching words in 
view. So if the user highlights a word, all matching words are highlighted. I'm 
doing the highlighting using a temporary attribute on the layout manager: 
NSBackgroundColorAttributeName.

In order for this to work, I first remove this attributed in the visible range 
of text:

[[self layoutManager] removeTemporaryAttribute:NSBackgroundColorAttributeName 
forCharacterRange:visibleRange];

This has the unfortunate side-effect of removing the red squiggly lines which 
indicate misspelled words.

So, I was trying to think of ways out of this. I could cycle through all 
temporary attributes in view and only remove those where 
NSBackgroundColorAttributeName is the color of my highlighting. This seems a 
bit heavy.

I was wondering if I could do the removal and then get the text view to 
re-highlight the misspelled words, but I couldn't find a way to make it do 
that. 

Any ideas?

Best wishes
