Hi!
I was just experimenting (struggling? ;-> ) with textviews & printing,
when
I read this message by Mark Piccirelli:
The right place to draw page borders and other things in the page's
margins is supposed to be in -drawPageBorderWithSize:. Unfortunately,
there's a bug that prevents text drawn in -drawPageBorderWithSize: from
appearing properly there too (that's why other developers were
attempting to draw page adornments in -beginPageInRect:atPlacement:).
I've been trying to write a footline with
[thestring drawAtPoint:mypoint withAttributes:fontDict];
and it appeared (when it appeared at all) at different positions on the
page, even if mypoint.y was kept fixed at a constant value.
I'd like to know more about this bug, and the presumed time it will
survive, in order to choose between a work-around or simply postponing
the solution, since my app will not be released in the next months.
I think you should probably work around the bug, for two reasons:
I can't say how long the bug will survive, but Mac OS 10.1.3 has just
been released, and it still includes the bug.
Hopefully your app, when it's been released, will want to run
successfully on the copies of Mac OS 10.1.x that are already in users'
hands.
Sorry for the inconvenience...
