Remove Problematic CATransaction, Fix Lines Disappearing

[thecoolwinter]

Description

Fixes a bug where line fragment views were being removed from layout despite the lines still existing. This was caused by overlapping layoutLines calls in the layout manager, which in turn were caused by a CATransaction.commit() call. This transaction was unnecessary and was removed.

When commit() was called, the text view's NSView.layout method was triggered, causing layout again starting in the middle of the existing layout pass. However, the layout is not reentrant and this caused some line fragment views to be marked as missing and subsequently removed.

To prevent errors similar to this in the future, a debug-only flag was added during layout and is asserted when layout begins.
