I used to use Quartz debug often, but in the last couple of times that I've used it I can make it work. Is anyone able to make it work? Did something change about how I should use it? Here's what I'm doing:
1. OS X 10.11.1
2. Quartz Debug Version 4.2 (180)
3. Open Quartz Debug
3. Verify that 'Enable Quartz Debug' is check in the panel.
Macos Quartz Debug
4. Check 'Flash screen updates'
5. Launch my app from Xcode

6. Expect to see yellow flashes when I type in my apps NSTextView, but I don't see yellow flashes anywhere in any app... what do I need to do to see those again?
