Question

I am creating a subclass for NSTExtView and inside I am overiding

-(BOOL)resignFirstResponder {

  return YES;

 }

Everything works but when when the responder is resigned it leaves a blinking cursor in my textView while the mouse cursor roams free (two cursors!) . Any ideas?

Thanks.

When you override NSTextView -resignFirstResponder, you’re bypassing the code that would remove that cursor.

You should be able to fix the cursor problem by deleting that method or replacing your code with:

BOOL canResign = [super resignFirstResponder];

if (canResign) {
    // do some custom stuff
}

return canResign;
