Yes - I believe your options, as well as filing a bug are 1) turn the border off on the textfield (I can hardly notice the difference myself and this also puts the highlight properly inside the space in the box. or 2) adjust the baseline alignment constraint constant to 1, or -1, depending on which field is first in your constraint. I’m fairly sure the NSTextField doesn’t properly take account of the border when aligning baselines. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
