HI. Another Mac developer here. I'm having a problem with Adium that I *also* see in the app I'm working on. Wondering if the Adium devs have figured out what causes it. Running the latest Adium as of today, still see the problem.
This problem has been reported to you previously by others over quite a period of time; here's an example I found:
http://forums.cocoaforge.com/viewtopic. ... ze#p102445
The problem manifests as serious delay (sometimes seconds at a time before the window responds in one large jerk to mouse resize input) in a chat window resize on a not-heavily-loaded machine that is more than capable of getting the job done smoothly (8 cores, 2.8 GHz, 8 GB RAM etc.) I typically have the contact list and two chat windows open. There is some commonality with my app there, which may be related: Typically has two major windows open.
The problem exists in my app even if I remove all rendering code - IE, no drawrect for the window view. I'm inclined to think it's a structural issue, but I've been unable to ID anything I've done wrong. And everything works, aside from the resize issue.
I'm seeing the Adium problem and my app showing the same behavior under Leopard 10.5 and Snow Leopard 10.6, and also on a mac mini, a macbook air, and a macbook pro.
Any idea what causes this? Sure would appreciate any insight.
