Seth Willits

@dnadoba I spent hours digging into this from a much more complex real-world case and whittling it down to this trivial case. It would have been nice to just read the framework code and find the answer, but my ARM disassembly reading ability is not nearly as good as my Intel. 🤪

@dnadoba Howdy! On Apple. FB11947867 — At face value it's broken, but it may actually be intended behavior that's not clearly documented?

Found a bug in NSKeyedUnarchiver secure decoding of an NSAttributedString that causes the whole decode to fail with an absolutely dead-wrong error message. It's preventing me from using secure coding. Anybody know any Foundation engineers? >_>

"Apple repair kits for Mac Studio and the Studio Display can be rented for $49…" Who's going to try to fix the annoying high pitched whine first?

@dnadoba Maybe you needed to turn that checkbox back on also! 😂

@sethwillits I have given up using NSBox. It just never does what I want.

Spent 3 hours today trying to debug an NSBox layout constraint problem. It turns out I had "Autoresizes Subviews" turned off which was making AppKit install a fixed-width constraint at runtime which broke all expectations. Super confusing.

@ccgus Those few hours with an empty inbox are to be savored!

I will clear out support today. I will clear out support today. I will clear out support today.

Oh hello there #wwdc 2004

@sumwarenz @ccgus @flyingmeat Speaking from the indie developer side of the fence, I can say that whole heartedly we love when that happens. Naturally not every request makes sense in the grand scheme, but it makes my day to make someone else's day!

I’m blown away. Feature request for Acorn image editor forms in my head, I email request to @flyingmeat. 23 minutes later I have that exact feature running on my computer. Always listens. Pragmatic. There is a lot to be said about working with indie developers!

Updated all the errors on osstatus.com to those in the SDKs with Xcode 14.

@Twitterrific * Actually it does mention me! But, it doesn't show up in Mentions at all. It's in a thread where I was mentioned before, and I realize now that one of these other tweets was also sent to me as a notification days ago, but does not show up in @ Mentions.

@Twitterrific Ooooor, it's a Twitterific bug. The latest example is a real tweet from a real human, but sent 3 days ago, and mentions others not me.

@Twitterrific Every now and then I get a notification about a mention, immediately click on it, but the tweet doesn't appear in the actual "@" Mentions tab, and never will. I also now can't see the notification text again. I assume these are tweets which are immediately deleted?

@tclementdev Huh. That's exactly what no longer works for me. Even on a fresh 13.0 install.

@tclementdev Agreed. There was a private preference for this which stopped working five years ago. I filed a report, and they just asked me to "verify this issue" in Ventura. Nothing changed as far as I can tell.

@ColaEuphoria @icculus Oh you've actually seen a reason? I missed it… maybe in a WWDC video somewhere?

@icculus Don't look up why they did that. It's the dumbest reason ever.

Surprised to find while cleaning up compiler warnings: the macOS 12.0 SDK has deprecated tons of symbols named "Master" and renamed them "Main"

Hey, fellow Mac developers: Don't forget that tooltips exist. Just sayin'.

If all of the macOS bugs I've founded had payouts 1/10th of those in the "Apple Security Bounty" program, I'd be making bank without even shipping anything. I'd settle for just having timely responses to my bug reports though.

But all in all, yes… a popover masquerading as a menu is a terrible thing. Crazy that they did it.

I feel grouping & spacing are wanted additions. I've been experimenting with this in my apps. I would have to really take inventory of examples, but I would like to see a more robust API that's more flexible with layout but can still respond to / act with menu behavior. 3/3

Hot take: My theory is that NSMenu is a little too limited in its customization capabilities. I've run into it now and then. Ex: As soon as a menu item has a view, it's no longer a clickable/selectable item like the others. Sometimes want it to be. 1/…
