[TxMt] Re: Weird Lines TextMate 2 on Retina Display

[Ben Smith]

Hey Folks -

On the OT part of this thread I will only say the following because
Macromates may not want this discussion on their thread: I've had the
machine for about 24 hours, but already looking at my iMac display (or
any other display) comparably looks like garbage.  There are certain
drawbacks to the machine (the upgrade issues outlined above), but for
me I'm very happy with my decision.

Now to the issue at hand.  If MM would like me to do something to try
capture the issue, please let me know.  I know it is hard to diagnose
when you can't see it.    I think it has something to do with the
collapse section carat, but I can't be sure.  I'm also realizing that
*anything* that forces a repainting of the screen (select, resize
window) seems to get the line to disappear.  The issue seems to be
unique to textmate. It doesn't happen in bywords,texpad or MM Composer
(the other text apps I use: obviously for other purposes)

I use a lot of pc's at work still and I don't update those as well, maybe the ram, but that is just because I start at 4GB and then upgrade to 8 GB for example… but really you want a new processor anyway and a brand new hd super-screen and all that… so you end up using it 1 more year and then get a new one.

So not only upgrading is much more expensive(since you have buy the extra storage and ram from apple when you purchase the unit at their absurd prices) you won't be able to extend the life of the unit by adding more storage or ram later down the road with third party hardware.
