Well, I can select a text in my textView.
I can copy it. I can do command-f (brings up the Find Panel) and I can paste the string into the find-textField. And then the Find Next button works.
But command-g does not.
How can I check that the textview is the first responder or not?

Xcode tells me that there is no "validateMenuItem" in my code.
I just created a new project, put a textView into the window.
Everything works as expected.
Then I added my NonWorking.xib to the new project (a window with a textView and some buttons and textFields).
And everything works in it's textView as expected.
Very mysterious indeed.
Kind regards,
Gerriet.
