NSTextView – text disappears while adding a new line

I've recently met a problem that once I'm adding a new line in an NSTextView, the least visible line disappears for a moment. The same happens when I'm deleting a line.

The problem occurs even in a newly created Xcode project with pure NSTextView. Here is a quick preview (GIF):

Has anyone met this problem?

Solution

  • The solutions is to set this allowsNonContiguousLayout of the LayoutManager to false, e.g.:

    textView.layoutManager.allowsNonContiguousLayout = false
