Hi Laurent,
I ended up just learning how to draw in a view using NSBezierPath, much
easier than I thought :))
I can post a ticket in a few days once I can figure out where it breaking..
It's not a concern for me anymore, but if it's worth opening a ticket for,
I'll be happy to oblige..
Do you think that this could be an issue for others, either now or
eventually?
or would it add to the clutter and minutiae of non-important tasks? or is
everything important? :))
I'm new to open source / community sharing.. not sure how it all works yet..
Thanks !
Tom
