According to two list postings (http://lists.apple.com/archives/ cocoa-dev/2007/Nov/msg01760.html, http://lists.apple.com/archives/ cocoa-dev/2007/Nov/msg01764.html) both by Apple employees, overlapping sibling subviews are fully supported in Leopard (and presumably beyond).

Interesting. I hadn't noticed that discussion. I'm glad you brought it to my attention.



I can't find anything in the documentation (or even release notes) that describes that/how overlapping views are supported. Why isn't this documented? Can we rely on overlapping sibling views working now and in the future? Are there any caveats we should be aware of?

I'd be interested in knowing that, too.

Especially, I'd be curious to know how such support works when drawing outside of drawRect: using the lockFocus... methods, including by a secondary thread.

Off to file a documentation bug...

Cheers,
Ken
