Hi, I was confused by this: It also doesn't make sense to synchronize on the myDict object. That's what is in flux. You should synchronize on self, the object which owns and manages myDict. Surely as long as every access to the dictionary is @synchronized to the same entity it’s fine?

Width defining NSLayoutConstraint zero

On some occasions I want my controls to collapse and set a width defining constraint constant to zero. In some cases, say a checkbox, an onscreen artefact remains. I presume that this is because the constraint is defining the layout rather than the frame rectangle. Is the only workaround to
