Well, I have found it to be even more weird. On Leopard, the Core
Animation animation sometimes can run simultaneously with the blocking
NSAnimation. In fact, I have done something to my app, don't know
what, and now CA runs in parallel with the blocking NSAnimation
causing the latter to jitter. I

Do you mean I should avoid using blocking animations and only use

directly, so I don't know if the proxies are blocking or non-
blocking.
The animator proxies are related to

Or is there a workaround, beside using non-blocking animation, which

Thanks,
AppKit 10.6 release notes say that the core of the problem is that the
animator proxy would run the animation in NSDefaultRunLoopMode. Now
it's done in NSRunLoopCommonModes.
I guess you could run the run loop once in NSDefaultRunLoopMode
whenever you're running in a different

Not sure I understand your idea and why it is bad. Could you elaborate?
Because it will cause delayed performs and other default-mode things
to execute when they might not expect to.

Hi,
Today I read this in wikipedia: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_Animation)
Animated sequences execute in a thread independent from the main run
loop, allowing application processing to occur while the animation is
in progress.
However, in my experience, Core Animation animations do not
Take a look at this movie, which was taken on Leopard:

The blue rectangle is a layer-backed NSView that is animated using
Core Animation. The problem is that the animation halts while the main
loop waits for the mouse to get released.
Thanks! You are right, I have tested it on Snow Leopard, and the CA
animation runs simultaneously with the blocking NSAnimation, as
claimed in the Wikipedia. What a revelation! I'd say, what an ANNOYING
revelation! It means that this ability of CA animation of running in a
separate thread is
