I'm getting bad behavior when I select Notes under Preferences. The tab greys, though the pane itself remains on whichever of the other three (General, Display, or Sync) was last selected. (That pane's tab remains blue.) Then Skim becomes entirely unresponsive. (Beach Ball of semi-death. I can still drag the Pref's window, though I cannot close it. I can force quit from the dock icon.) This is the only strange behavior my installation seems to be having, but then again, I don't really use many of Skim's features. The freeze happens whether or not other software is running and also occurs whether or not Skim has any PDFs open. Unfortunately, I don't know if this was an issue prior to updating to v1.1.3. After the software freezes, it dies when told to Force Quit without problems.
I've considered the ol' uninstall/re-install cycle, but I didn't know if there might be something more constructive I could do for development folks beforehand. I opened up Console, since I have learned /something/ from the "Geniuses" at Apple. I open and clear Console, open Skim, click on Preferences and Notes. It gives me: ===== Wednesday, April 16, 2008 2:08:13 AM US/Eastern ===== 2008-04-16 02:08:18.501 Skim[2356] LCC Scroll Enhancer loaded 2008-04-16 02:08:23.989 Skim[2356] *** -[NSFontManager target]: selector not recognized [self = 0x42d3f0] 2008-04-16 02:08:23.989 Skim[2356] *** -[NSFontManager target]: selector not recognized [self = 0x42d3f0] 2008-04-16 02:08:23.999 Skim[2356] *** Assertion failure in -[SKFontPicker lockFocus], AppKit.subproj/NSView.m:3248 2008-04-16 02:08:23.999 Skim[2356] lockFocus sent to a view whose window is deferred and does not yet have a corresponding platform window 2008-04-16 02:08:24.698 Skim[2356] *** Assertion failure in -[SKFontPicker lockFocus], AppKit.subproj/NSView.m:3248 2008-04-16 02:08:24.698 Skim[2356] lockFocus sent to a view whose window is deferred and does not yet have a corresponding platform window 2008-04-16 02:08:24.706 Skim[2356] *** Assertion failure in -[SKFontPicker lockFocus], AppKit.subproj/NSView.m:3248 2008-04-16 02:08:24.706 Skim[2356] lockFocus sent to a view whose window is deferred and does not yet have a corresponding platform window ... 2008-04-16 02:08:30.763 Skim[2356] *** Assertion failure in -[SKFontPicker lockFocus], AppKit.subproj/NSView.m:3248 2008-04-16 02:08:30.763 Skim[2356] lockFocus sent to a view whose window is deferred and does not yet have a corresponding platform window 2008-04-16 02:08:30.771 Skim[2356] *** Assertion failure in -[SKFontPicker lockFocus], AppKit.subproj/NSView.m:3248 2008-04-16 02:08:30.771 Skim[2356] lockFocus sent to a view whose window is deferred and does not yet have a corresponding platform window ===== END CONSOLE ===== where those two lines repeat a bajillion times (once every 7 or 8 thousandths of a second), and continue repeating until the app is killed. Is there any other diagnostic work that would be helpful in stomping out whatever bug I seem to have caught? I don't know a *whole* lot about development, but can follow instructions, and I'm not afraid to type "sudo make ..." if necessary. Of course, here's some info on my system: OS X 10.4.11 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (iMac) 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM Skim version 1.1.3 Oh, and I noticed this problem when I started to try and get PDFSync working. I've downloaded the script: "gvim-pdfsync" and setup Skim to use that. However, upon Shift-Command-Click, I don't see *any* response. The script does work from the command line. As of now, I'm assuming that this issue has more to do with me being stupid about sync-ing, and entirely unrelated to the freezing. But, I thought I'd bring it up just in case it sheds any light. If I still can't get PDFSync working in the morning, I'll probably post a question about that in its own thread, just like it deserves. Reseting Sync preferences, of course, does not solve the problem. Reseting all preferences also does not solve the problem. Well, that's all that comes to mind. If there's anything else I can do to help, let me know!
