More information.
This is following to original posting on NSTextView not updating
correctly when short text replaces very long text.
It seems that if I wait a long time (about 10 seconds) after inserting
the long text, the new text will correctly replace the old text. A
possible guess is that setString can take a long to time actually
finish and that if new text if inserted before the old text if fully
inserted (which probably means calculating things like line breaks), it
will not insert correctly. Of course it is annoying to have to wait
(and there is no NSTextView feedback that a wait is needed) before
selecting new text. If this is the problem, what is the solution?
Another symptom showing the NSTextView is busy calculating is to drag
the scroll bar down to the end. Initially the page marker goes to the
end, but then moves up as the NSTextView finds more lines. If I wait
until the page maker can be placed at the end and stay at the end, the
subsequent insert of short text will work. If it is still moving, it
will not.
