So, I draw a custom window (transparent) using a custom NSView as the content content, and would like to add an NSTextField to the window, however, when I add an NSTextField, I get a weird resizing or redrawing of a custom NSView, and I can't figure out what causes a problem. Window and window contents are subclasses of NSWindow and NSView respectively. In addition, I tried to simply fold the custom NSView (do not set it as a contentview) without changes. Any ideas?
NSWindow *quickEntryWindow = [[TransparentWindow alloc] initWithContentRect:NSMakeRect([[NSScreen mainScreen] frame].size.width/2 - 250, [[NSScreen mainScreen] frame].size.height/2 + 50, 500, 100)
styleMask:NSBorderlessWindowMask
backing:NSBackingStoreBuffered
defer:NO
special:YES];
BorderView *quickEntryBorderView = [[BorderView alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(0, 0, [[quickEntryWindow contentView] frame].size.width, [[quickEntryWindow contentView] frame].size.height)];
[quickEntryBorderView canDrawConcurrently];
[quickEntryWindow setContentView:quickEntryBorderView];
NSTextField *quickEntryTextField = [[NSTextField alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(10, 10, [quickEntryBorderView frame].size.width-20, [quickEntryBorderView frame].size.height-20)];
[quickEntryTextField setAutoresizingMask:NSViewNotSizable];
[quickEntryTextField setBordered:NO];
[quickEntryTextField setDrawsBackground:NO];
[quickEntryTextField setFocusRingType:NSFocusRingTypeNone];
[quickEntryTextField setFont:[NSFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica" size:42]];
[quickEntryTextField setTextColor:[NSColor grayColor]];
[quickEntryBorderView addSubview:quickEntryTextField];
What I get looks like this (this is normal when text is not entered into NSTextField):

Oh yes, I know I donβt manage my memory ... Iβm just trying to get this to work. Thank!
