I have switched back to an older version of GNUstep (a few weeks old). 
In that version the mentioned error does not occur. Also when opening a 
combobox in a tableview some rows in the popped up view are blank. If 
you close the combo and open it again, other rows are blank (very 
weird). Again this problem does not occur with the older version. It 
seems some things got broken in GNUstep very recently.
