Day 26: Don’t call it contentView

I’m putting the drawing series aside again, for a few days of short tips. Today’s is a bit obscure, but it has bit me a few times.

Dont call an instance variable in an NSBox subclass contentView. It’ll clash with another variable that is apparently already defined there. You’ll get no errors but just unexpected behaviour.
