Hi,

Finally, I may have found a workaround. However I feel this is a bug in
Cocoa: maybe someone else may confirm it?

To resolve the problem you have to subclass NSTextView and override 2
methods:

@implementation MyTextView

- (BOOL)isRotatedOrScaledFromBase
{
// This prevents the spacing between glyphs from being laid out badly
return NO;
}

- (void)drawRect:(NSRect)rect
{
// This prevents drawing over itself multiple times creating bold
// glitches while selecting the text
[[self superview] displayRect:rect];

// Just let NSTextView do its job!
[super drawRect:rect];
}

@end

Overriding drawRect: is necessary only if you setDrawsBackground to NO, as
it is the case with the Sketch sample.

It looks like NSTextView is using heavily lockFocus/drawRect instead of
display or displayRect, preventing ancestors to be drawn up to the first
opaque view.
