The circular style isn’t always indeterminate, though (I forgot) it looks different when it’s not indeterminate. I just tried forcing an app with a spinning indeterminate progress indicator to block its own main thread, and the indicator doesn’t stop animating, regardless of whether usesThreadedAnimation is set. > But when I click in the menubar, the main thread suddenly blocks as given by > the stack trace in my previous message.

My app also hits a breakpoint at _dispatch_semaphore_wait_slow when I click on a menu bar menu, also in the middle of talking to another process via XPC, so I don’t think that’s a cause of your problem. Instead, I suspect you have a memory management error that’s corrupting something. Or a thread safety error that’s causing this as a side effect. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
