[Pyobjc-dev] NSInternalInconsistencyException when calling a method on an NSTextView

[Steven D. A. <st...@ne...>]

I'm running into a problem trying to control an NSTextView from code.  Here
is a truncated view of my controller class:

class DictManager( Foundation.NSObject, AppKit.NSTableDataSource ):

    commentary = objc.IBOutlet( 'commentary' )
    definition = objc.IBOutlet( 'definition' )
        
    def toggle_word_inspector( self ):
        if self.word_inspector_enabled:
            self.word_inspector_enabled = enabled = 0
        else:
            self.word_inspector_enabled = enabled = 1
        self.definition.setEditable_( enabled )
        self.commentary.setEditable_( enabled )

Note that both commentary and definition are NSTextView objects.  I created
the form in IB, dragged the two objects to the form, created outlets for the
class named as above, and connected them.  When I click a line in an
NSTableView in the same form, toggle_word_inspector() is called.  When it
reaches the first setEditable line, it raises an
NSInternalInconsistencyError.

Note that I run into the same problem if I use some other method from the
NSTextView class as well, such as isEditable().

Anyone seen this before?
