Hi,
I am now using ROOT on Mac os (Catalina 10.15.3) and I am observing some strange behaviour. One of them is that I cannot anymore see the crosshair on a TPad.
Does someone else has the same problem ?
I suspect that this could come from a bad ROOT installation, but how can I check this ?
Thanks in advance
Jérémie

I suspect that was not implemented for cocoa .
need to check it.
Ok, thank you for the answer. An other thing that I have observed is that I am not able to write any of these characters: ~#{[|`^@]} in the root text entries (the draw option of the browser for example. I have an azerty keybord, this corresponds to all the Alt-Gr keys.
I think it’s an international keyboard error. Did you search the forum?
Sorry, I missed this topic. It seems to be indeed the same error. Si no solution for this problem for the moment… 
I had the confirmation from the author of the Cocoa backend that the Xor mode does not work for Cocoa. So the crosshair cursor could be implemented. That’'s what I had in mind but I wanted to double check with him.
And what about the special characters issue?
They are ok for me:
But Olivier, you have an qwerty keybord I guess no ? You don’t need to use Alt-Gr (or option on the mac keyboad) to write these characters. In my case, for example, the “&” works also because I don’t need to press a special combination for it.
What I just realized also is that if I press the key “!” (which works perfectly outside root), it prints “_”
Indeed, on “typical french azerty keybord”, the key under the value 8 is “_”, but on mac azerty keyboard it is “!”
I still wonder why I asked for an azerty keybord…
Yes qwerty … not azerty
