Re: Very strange problem about "setString" method of NSTextView.

That should work as far as I can see, but you've got the selector wrong. It's:

[textView performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(setString:) withObject:contentString waitUntilDone:YES]


It still doesn't work - And even if it did, I wouldn't recommend it as it's not intention revealing, and (IMO) would rely to much on the particular implementation of "- performSelectorOnMainThread:withObject:waitUntilDone:".

If you're already on the main thread, I think that this call:

[obj performSelectorOnMainThread: @selector(foo) withObject: nil waitUntilDone: YES];

...should *conceptually* be viewed as the same as this call:

	[obj foo];

If, like in this case, you want to do something after the current run loop, and on the same thread, you should use a regular "- performSelector:withObject:afterDelay:".
