My inclination is that you broke something in your attempts to insert your VC into the responder chain. The app delegate is always the last responder. Any vanilla template will show that the app delegate will respond to unhandled action message. In a vanilla project of any kind (that has a window), implement the action message in your app delegate, wire up a nil-targeted action in a menu, say, then see whether it is handled. If it is not, I would file a bug, because I cannot reproduce this behavior. Keary Suska Esoteritech, Inc.
