FontPreferencesPopUp and LocalizationPreferences-* illustrate NSPopUpButton text drawing. WorkspaceMenu+HelpPanel illustrates - i guess - related problem: "Workspace" menu lacks border at the right side. The other problem is with my custom HelpPanel that contains NSMatrix with index list (note selection offset). Plus (it's hard to make screenshot of insertion point) in NXTHelpPanel's NSTextField insertion point drawn shifted at 20-30 pixels to the right until there's no entered text. Now I'm using 0.25 version of GUI and Back - all works correcly. Somewhere between 0.25 and 0.25.1 of GUI NSStringDrawing was massively changed by you. Do you know what is the cause of these inconsistencies? -- Sergii Stoian, ProjectCenter lead developer NEXTSPACE owner, lead developer
