This is a rather hard statement. NSTextView has been used in different
places, Ink.app for example, and it seem to work rather well there. I
understand that you are frustrated to find it not working for you, still you
should pay more respect to the great work that Alexander and others put in
here.

Solaris may always be a problem, as GNUstep doesn't get enough testing on
that platform and there are a few small differences to that environment, the
infamous return of structures from nil method calls just to name one.

You could have a look at the simple code in Ink.app or even better, send us
your code and we try to get it working on GNUstep. In the long run we don't
want people to adopt their code to GNUstep, rather all valid Cocoa code
should run on GNUstep directly. But keep in mind, valid is a bit more
restrictive than "it somehow works on my machine".

Cheers
Fred
