Bug 471

Summary: Under MacOS X, the NSText used to interpret the events will store all the keyDown.
Product: SDL Reporter: kuon <kuon>
Component: eventsAssignee: Ryan C. Gordon <icculus>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: critical

Hardware: x86   
OS: Mac OS X 10.4 (Intel)

I just noticed how my patch was implemented,

You added:
  [data->fieldEdit interpretKeyEvents:[NSArray arrayWithObject:event]];
in theCocoa_HandleKeyEvent (and equivalent for pre 1.3), but as you cache the NSText, you should clean the buffer it contains, otherwise it will grow up at each keypress.

Something like:
[data->fieldEdit setString:@""];

must be done after each key interpretation, to prevent the NSText from growing madly.
