Do you have the link attribute set?

Yes

By default that should cause the cursor to change to the pointing hand without you having to do anything.

While that seems logical, the TextLinks example indicates that I should set up a cursor rect. If I don't, I get the I-beam at all times.

Is your text view selectable?

No, I programmatically set it non-selectable.

What system version are you running on?

I'm using an NSTextView whose value is bound to an attributed string in File's Owner. The string contains a link. Following Apple's TextLinks example, I've set up cursor rects to display the finger cursor whenever the mouse is hovering over the link in the view (the link occupies the entire visible region of the view). However, at run time it seems that some other part of the system is trying to set the I-beam cursor on that view and they usually win, so most of the time it displays the I-beam but I can fiddle around and get it to display the finger cursor in some cases. Can anyone shed any light on how to resolve this problem?
