This is a Cocoa port of a Carbon app (and I also have Windows and GTK versions). My code assumes that I'm controlling the radio buttons, which has worked fine until now (apparently the 10.8 SDK). What I want is a radio style button which turns on when I want it on and turns off when I want it off and doesn't go off and manage itself along with the other buttons that the OS thinks (incorrectly in this case) are logically linked to it.
