But how? I can't use a single NSTextView because this is for a view where each text view corresponds to a single page of text, and so AFAICT text containers and views must be created manually as the layout manager lays out text. > Sometimes Quartz Debug can show you areas where text is getting drawn and > immediately overdrawn with background color. I already tried that with auto-flush and flashing screen updates on, and it is only drawing partial lines of text, so it's not being cut off by something else that's drawing over it.
