Even if it doesn't crash, closing the NSWindow always results in the
following error message.
An instance 0x11b75230 of class MyWindow was deallocated while key
value
observers were still registered with it. Observation info was
leaked, and
may even become mistakenly attached to some other object. Set a
breakpoint
on NSKVODeallocateBreak to stop here in the debugger. Here's the
current
observation info:
(
Context: 0x0,
Property: 0x4453e60>
Context: 0x0,
Property: 0x4453e60>
)
I looked at what the observer object's class is, and it's a
subclass of
NSCollectionView. We do not explicitly setup a KVO relationship for
firstResponder. I also noticed that the "Application Kit Release
Notes for
Snow Leopard" mention that firstResponder is KVO-compliant, which
makes me
believe this is something new in Snow Leopard. All this
information makes
me believe this is potentially a bug in Application Kit for 10.6.
Maybe we
setup an NSCollectionView incorrectly or I'm misinterpreting this
information?
Oh -- another thing. Does your subclass of NSCollectionView override:
(void)viewWillMoveToWindow:(NSWindow *)window {
but not call super? If not... call super! Your classes should always
call super if it is defined in a superclass, unless you have a good
reason to hide the super's behavior.

This was the problem, thank you. This is a difficult bug to find in
code someone else wrote. This makes me almost wish there was a gcc
flag for it (-Woverride-no-super).
