TextKit is a REALbasic plugin that provides a rendering engine for styled text as well as a corresponding EditField-like control that works on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. Unlike most other engines, this engine is written specifically for REALbasic and is extremely extendable.
TextKit provides two classes to help with displaying and editing text: TKTextRenderer and TKTextField. Unlike REALbasic's built-in classes, TKTextRenderer can be used to manipulate and draw text offscreen. TKTextField provides an easy way to edit and display text and objects on a window.

I just tried the demo on Mac OS X 10.5.2 with REALbasic 2007r5 and it crashed when I clicked in the window. This was a hard crash that didn’t get thrown into the debugger. The file I tried was ALTextFieldTest.rbp.

Tried the demo with the a3 plugin on 10.5.2 PowerPC and all three example files crash when I click in the editor windows. I’m getting an error when trying to use your bug reporting engine.
