Of course not!! But it at least makes the application available for the time being (needed to be urgently fixed or at least worked around).

> NSView and NSScrollView (may) do important work in -setWindow:! You just haven't noticed what you’ve broken yet.

I have posted the methods and ivars I have added to my subclasses. I can't see any obvious conflict with Apples API modifications!?  And the app crashes in setWindow!? I see it that way. Apples implementation of NSScrollView::setWindow looks probably similar to this:

- (void)setWindow:(NSWindow *)window
{
    // remove observer for _window::contentLayoutRect
   [_window release];
   _window = [window retain];
   ...
    // add observer for _window::contentLayoutRect
}

Do you agree?

I expect a bug in Apples code where the ... are. May be a return before adding the observer again!??

I can only hope Apple fixes this with a Software Update soon!? Or do you have any further hints what I could have done wrong? Here are my ivars once again:

@interface GSScrollView : NSScrollView
{
  NSSize _minSize;
}

@interface GSWindow : NSWindow
{
  BOOL _suppressBecomingMainWin;
  GSWindow *mainWin;
  id filesOwner;
  NSRect _tempRect;
}

Thanks,

 Andreas
