Hi. I love freemind. I love macs. These two loves have been in conflict for some time due to a bug with freemind displaying the typing cursor at the wrong position on retina macs. For example, see here:
Hi Jacob, in the meantime, there are more than one bug descriptions out: long nodes are sometimes not displayed completely long node editor with formatting is displaying something wrong
* long node editor without formatting is displaying something wrong
Perhaps, it is helpful, if you supply a screenshot of your issue.
TIA, Chris
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I've attached a screenshot. Text is being inserted at the end of the line, but the cursor is being displayed 1.5 characters to the left. The offset is not constant, sometimes the cursor catches up to where text is actually being inserted, and sometimes it drifts more to the left. This seems to happen on any retina mac.
As a separate issue, the last word of a line sometimes has a few characters chopped off.
I want it fixed. I'll paypal you if you produce a build where the mac cursor bug is fixed and I test it out and confirm. Unfortunately, there is no official bounty software/program.

I find I can mitigate the problem on short nodes by switching to a monospace font. But the cursor position on long nodes is still way out of wack.
I'd like to offer the developer who fixes this bug $20 through bitcoin or paypal. Would anybody else like to join me in raising the bounty?
Please contact me at first name dot last name at gmail to claim the bounty.

Thanks for doing this! I agree, annoying problem that I mostly get around by using Arial 14pt at 100%.
I would chip in $20 for fixing this and general Mac improvements.
I am raising my bug bounty to $150. I will offer $150 by bitcoin or paypal to the developer that fixes this issue.
Does this occur only on Retina Macs? My Pro is kind of old :(

Increasing bounty to $250.
Again, does it fail on non-Retina Macs?
Unfortunately, I do not know of anyone that still has a non-retina mac. If I run into one, I'll try it out.
I seem to recall that it did not fail on non-retina macs. My friend who introduced me to freemind had an old mac and he had no problems with it.

I have used FreeMind extensively on my non-retina macs and experience the same issue.
Same problem in my retina Mac. Is there any information about if the bug is being solved? it is very annoying :(
How do these bounties work? I would fix this for the stated bounties.
