So, they two arguments that a small handful of people have said are
ruining Mac OS X?
"they two arguments"? Those two arguments?
An extra y, at no charge to you. :-) Should have been "the".
the second one is the standard "Cocoa apps don't support drag
text"...
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.
It does support it.
I say IF you support it, do it right. The current implementation is
insane.
Insane? That's an extremely strong statement. There are many more
'insane' things in the world than an extra invisible character in a
selection, or a milli-second pause in order to drag some text.
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.
That's an opinion. Saying that it doesn't behave the same as a Carbon
app is a fact. Filing a Radar that they don't behave the same will get
them fixed. Ranting about an opinion won't.
Anyways, I'd suggest you look at 10.2 and see if it fixes these issues
for you. If so, it's a cheap $130 fix for insanity (I've got more
invested and am nowhere near close to sane)
Why waste the bandwidth and just say "Go to hell Mac user!" instead?
Because that's not my intention. I am a Mac user and developer...
since 1985.
