I will send this separately to both cocoa-dev and xcode-users.
I am seeing an odd problem with cut-and-paste and drag operations
in some but not all Cocoa applications I have written: For some
such applications, I am unable to cut and paste or drag text from
any source into NSTextViews in the application.
This problem *only* occurs on my Macbook 13 running OS X 10.4.11;
the affected applications work fine on an old Powerbook G3 running
10.4.11. The problem may have begun when I upgraded to 10.4.11,
but I did not notice it at the time. (I'd like to know whether
it also occurs in Leopard, but I can't get my 10.5.1 partition to
start today.)
The code I wrote to override "performDragOperation" and "paste"
has not changed in months, and certainly worked in 10.4.10 and
earlier. All this code was compiled under various versions
of 10.4, on my Intel Macbook, with XCode 2.4.1.
Comparison of archived versions of my source with the present one
suggests that the problem is not in the source but in the Intel
version of something linked in at build time.
I searched list archives and the web, and turned up comments about
something similar in Leopard for which there was a recommendation
to reboot in safe mode and do a permissions repair in the disk
utility, which I did, with no effect on the problem. I also did
a general disc repair and a hardware test, with no hint of problem
and no effect on the problem.
Any clues or suggestions? Anyone know of discussions in any other
group?
