iChat
Julian Missig posted some thoughts about iChat’s interface. Brushed metal aside, I think iChat is pretty good. I love sending files over Rendezvous. Now if only it didn’t crash every time I try to use it…3 Comments RSS · Twitter

i finally found the issue, it was a mismatch between the OS version and the spell checker. this happened after upgrading OS X.
i updated the spell checker (cocoAspell) and now finally iChat and other apps which were crashing, have started working.

iChat crashes for me when I empty the keyboard buffer, either by deleting all the text, or (especially) if I select it all and Command-X to cut. I got in the habit of cutting and repasting from AIM days, when I want to insert a small comment and then get back to the longer IM I was writing. So now I use Command-C to copy instead, and then just type over the selected text. As long as the buffer isn't emptied, iChat seems to be fine.
