So, silly question, is it actually possible to compare compositions using Quartz Composer? Whenever I select that option, it throws an exception (sending a _graphEditor message to an NSSegmentedControl rather than a private internal class) -- is this the same for everyone, or am I just lucky somehow? (if not, I'll file a bug report if y'all'd like)

To provide an update, it appears that the exception on menu selection happens due to a plist setting. Specifically:

~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist

If there's a key/value pair called "AppleKeyboardUIMode", and the value has bit 1 set, the exception is thrown when the menu item is selected.

So, for a fun little table:

0 - not thrown (00000000)
1 - not thrown (00000001)
2 - thrown (00000010)
3 - thrown (00000011)
4 - not thrown (00000100)
5 - not thrown (00000101)
6 - thrown (00000110)
...

This bit is apparently controlled by the radio button in System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> "Text boxes and lists only" / "All Controlls" (with all controls selected).

Is this assessment correct? (i.e. can a third party toggle this setting in preferences, and start up QC under each, and see if it modifies the Exceptional behaviour)?
