GUI incompatibility

[Andreas Höschler]

Hi Fred,

I am still trying to get my apps to work under GNUstep. I have already worked around a couple of incompatibilities between Cocoa and GNUstep that caused trouble. 

I now ended up at the following problem:

I have some NSView subclass on a window

ValueElementCarrier : ElementCarrier : ComponentCarrier : ControlCarrier : NSView

ValueElementCarrier has a subview

    FormTextField : NSTextField

over its complete rect. 

@implementation FormTextField

- (void)mouseDown:(NSEvent *)theEvent

{

   NSLog(@"%@ mouseDown ..", self);

    ...

    [super mouseDown:theEvent];

}

- (BOOL)becomeFirstResponder

{

   BOOL result = ([(FBFormWindow *)[self window] designMode] ? NO : [super becomeFirstResponder]);

   NSLog(@"%@ becomeFirstResponder %d", self, result);

   return result;

}

- (BOOL)acceptsFirstMouse: (NSEvent*)theEvent

{

   BOOL result = [super acceptsFirstMouse:theEvent];

   NSLog(@"%@ acceptsFirstMouse %d", self, result);

   return result;

}

@end

When I click on this FormTextField on MacOSX I get

13/05/20 17:23:40,783 InterfaceBuilder[93679]: <FormTextField: 0x102cd30> acceptsFirstMouse 1

13/05/20 17:23:40,783 InterfaceBuilder[93679]: <FormTextField: 0x102cd30> becomeFirstResponder 0

13/05/20 17:23:40,784 InterfaceBuilder[93679]: <FormTextField: 0x102cd30> mouseDown ..

When I do the same on GNUstep I get

13/05/20 17:23:40,783 InterfaceBuilder[93679]: <FormTextField: 0x102cd30> becomeFirstResponder 0

but no call of acceptsFirstMouse and no call of mouseDown!?  This renders my up inoperable! :-(

Any idea? Should this behaviour be fixed in GNUstep (handled equally)? 

Thanks,

 Andreas
