[MacRuby-devel] windowControllerDidLoadNib strangeness

[Tom Jordan]

I'm having some trouble bringing in the old nib to the newly working
project,
so I went back to the old project and removed the MRGraphics code..
windowControllerDidLoadNib is now working right in the original project..
I hope there is a way to still use the MRGraphics library..
I'm going to submit an issue at its Github site..
