Re: NSScrollView and NSMenu problems

Your problem with copy on scroll seems like a bug to me.  You should file a
bug report.

Regarding adding and removing menu items based on the user's current
selection:
Please don't.  All menu items that are ever available should always be
available but disabled if not pertinent.  Adding and removing menu items is
likely to astonish and confuse users.  Users may never notice that a new
menu item is available in some situations.  Users may be annoyed when a menu
item that they remember is missing.  Users may not be able to anticipate how
and why a menu item appears or disappears.  Users are not able to form
muscle memory for changing menus...
