The toolbar now shows the currently selected top level editor and changes as needed.

There is no need to make Gorm look "NeXT-ish". The intention of Gorm is to surpass IB, not simply imitate it.

It is "Fixed" in the sense that the toolbar now does what is expected and shows the currently selected editor in the document window, but it not "Fixed" because the toolbar won't be replaced with the tabview for the reasons cited below, nor will it be made to look "NeXT-ish" with bordered buttons.

The real "gist" of this bug is that the current selection isn't shown in the toolbar when the user selects one of the buttons. It should be possible to create a subclass of NSToolbar in Gorm to show the current selection in a way that satisfies this.

One of the reasons the toolbar was used is that, eventually, the plan is to have a more plugin based architecture in Gorm. This will allow the user to add new items to the document window's toolbar using the "toolbar palette" (see NSToolbar documentation). The tabview lacks this functionality.

In any event, this is a post 1.0 change, if/when it's done.

This is a personal opinion and not really a bug. Downgrading to "wish" until there is more time to consider it. GJC

The toolbar used in Palette / Document Palette should have the NeXT look and be easier to use ( for example know what is currently selected )

This mean that the button should be bordered ( and hightlight when selected )

IMO this change should be done in NSToolBar{Item}
