So, they two arguments that a small handful of people have said are ruining Mac OS X?
"they two arguments"? Those two arguments?
I don't really care how many people have actively complained. Unless you work at Apple, neither do you.

I don't think there is anything "standard" about it since most people seem to complain that it ought to support drag+drop text or not. I say IF you support it, do it right. The current implementation is insane.

As someone who didn't use 9 for years, I can honestly say that this works the way _I_ expect it to. I don't even notice these things. and I go between platforms daily. sadly..
9?
I fail to see what any of this has to do with "9". I'm talking about problems with NSLayoutManager in relation to NSLayoutManager. My complaint isn't simply that it doesn't behave like Carbon, but that it behaves in an INFERIOR manner.
However instead of trying to help me you seem content to dismiss my observations as "standard" and also coming from "a small handful of people". Amazing how such a small handful of people can standardize something.
Why waste the bandwidth and just say "Go to hell Mac user!" instead?
