Re: [Gnustep-cvs] r28443 - in /libs/gui/trunk: ChangeLog Source/GSTextStorage.m Source/NSTextView.m

[Gregory Casamento]

Hey Fred,

Thanks for taking a look, I'm happy to answer the questions you have.
What I was aiming at is the following:

1) The code, as it was, was causing a segmentation fault when editing
the contents of a textview unarchived from a nib.   I will provide an
example of this tonight.

2) Currently, it is possible in IB to edit the contents of a
NSTextView and have those come up in the live app.  For example, if
you want to have a set of instructions in a textview, etc... it's nice
to be able to put this into the nib directly.  Up until my change, the
textview in Gorm and the live app would come up blank.  It now shows
the text.  I'll put an example of this in as well.

I did think it was odd that GSTextStorage encoded itself.    The
question now is, since it does, and, probably has, for a while, I'll
need to run some tests to see if this is encoded in .gorm files or
not.  If we simply yank the code it could break compatibility with
.gorm files created before the change.   I will get back to you with
results of that test.

Thanks, GC
