Perhaps it stomps on the -isFirstResponder method? KVC access for 'foo' checks (among other things) '-isFoo', presumably so that boolean properties feel natural; perhaps synthesizing a 'foo' property likewise causes the object to respond to 'isFoo'. Hmm, also, it appears that UIResponder has some undocumented methods -firstResponder and -_firstResponder, which your synthesized property would also interfere with. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
