Do I need to lockFocus or some other aspect of CG on my custom view before I draw my gradient in my view's drawRect: method?
What happens is when those controls redraw, some part of your view is invalidated, so you are asked to draw again. I suspect that when you draw, you are then using the rect parameter passed to -drawRect: to determine the extends of the gradient – which is incorrect.
The rect parameter passed to -drawRect: is only a hint as to what parts of the view need to be redrawn. You should always do your drawing with respect to your view's bounds.
