I am getting an assertion failure notice on the console when running a small test program: Assertion failure in -[AWTWindow_Panel _validateCollectionBehavior:], /Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/AppKit/AppKit-1504.83.101/AppKit.subproj/NSWindow.m:14741 (This message is on 10.12.6, the

NSDocument autosave in place – possible data loss?

I was thinking about the idea of automatic save in place, and it occurred to me there could be a problem. Suppose the user wants to move some content from one place in a document to another. A typical way to do this would be to cut the content from the original location and paste it in the new

I’m trying to use AppleScript to get Safari to print an HTML document (showing the print dialog) and am having no luck with the direct approach. This script times out without opening a print dialog or printing the document: tell application "Safari" print POSIX file

Ignore Spelling not persistent?

The documentation that I have seen for the Ignore Spelling contextual menu item says that it applies to the current document, but does not say one way or the other whether the setting is persistent. As far as I can tell, the setting is not persistent. That strikes me as odd. Why would one want

Re: inconsistencies in view renderings

If you exclude textured controls in the window content area, then my examples are all moot. Can you tell me how to create a window with a bottom status bar in IB? It seems to depend on some sort of analysis by AppKit. > On Oct 19, 2016, at 8:16 PM, Quincey Morris >

That sounds rather mysterious. What kind of project configuration would affect the display of buttons? Well, try this on Sierra: Use the Open File… menu item of Safari to open a dialog. Then activate a different application. On my system, the Cancel button in the dialog grays out (although it

inconsistencies in view renderings

I am not an expert on Interface Builder, so I hope to learn something about how IB simulates the display of views or how IB defined views are constructed at run time. I have a UI that includes textured rounded buttons with text labels. In IB, when the IB window is inactive, the buttons display

mysterious behavior of system font metrics

I am using some code (Java) that assumes it is OK to create a size 1 font and then scale-transform it to render other font sizes. I would not expect this to work with Yosemite system fonts, but most of the time it works better than expected. But sometimes it does not. (The expected problem is
