I just discover an interesting PB behavior: if I have Mail and PB
running at the same time, and when I typed in a search string in Mail,
and then switch to a PB project window, the search string in Mail will
be copied into the "Find:" text field of the Find panel of the project.
Is this a feature or is it a bug? How did they accomplish this? It was
very spooky before I realized what's going on.
They both use the same find pasteboard: in Cocoa, pasteboards are not
limited to copy/paste. From NSPasteboard's doc:
NSFindPboard
The pasteboard that holds information about the current state of the
active application's Find panel. This information permits users to
enter a search string into the Find panel, then switch to another
application to conduct another search.
IMHO it is a nice feature rather than a bug.
