Details:

I reinstalled gnustep from scratch today, grabing the last repository, and
there is an annoying bug: in some widgets characters are just "dropped". I
noticed it using Grouch.app, where the contact list window contained mangled
contact names, as well as the conversation window. Strangely, the textfield
doesn't seem to be impacted -- typed characters are properly displayed -- but
the conversation textview is affected...

Same problem in TalkSoup, and probably other applications using
NSTableView/NSTextView.

I am not sure where the bug come from; getting the revision date 2006-05-12
of base make things work fine, and there was indeed some string refactoring
after that date that could be linked to the problem. But it could as easily
be some bug in gui/backend that are triggered by the new code...
