Why do titles of NSForms get bolded and unbolded at unpredictable times while they are being interacted with? I noticed this peculiarity from the inspection window in the BitTorrent OS X client, and my test program does it as well.

It looks kind of stupid. I'm hoping there's a way to make it stop doing that.


Are you sure it's *real bold* ? Some apps that use threading and/or call -display on objects sometimes get the same text drawn twice. This will cause the anti-aliasing (which is partially transparent) to be applied twice, and thus cause a thicker, blacker outline around the text (which looks like a low-quality bold-face).


Could it be that?

Yes, you are right. That's exactly what it is. I knew it had to be a drawing problem and not intentional--it looks too silly. Not sure about BitTorrent, but my test app sure doesn't do threading or anything much more advanced than displaying a default NSForm on a window. I don't know why it would be drawing itself twice; I'll have to investigate some more.


Thanks,
