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.
Argh, that argument could be used to defend just about any horrible
interface idea.
No.. that's an attempt to put the issue at hand into perspective.
It's not insanity.
(Now if you'll excuse me, I must return to yelling at the Finder for
mocking my selection of Always Show in Column View)...
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.
Ha, I've been reporting it since 10.0. Apple knows damn well the
behavior is inconsistent; unfortunately, they don't seem to care. :-(
There were several changes made in 10.2 to bring text in line, it may
still be in the queue
In either case, if one wanted to change this themselves, it can be
done at the NSTextView level, reimplementing the drag and drop, and the
affinity method.
Hell, the copying may be fixable just by overriding copy.
But then your app will be inconsistent with the other Cocoa apps..
