NSTextField will not become editable in a borderless window

When I add an NSTextField to a borderless window, nothing I do will make it editable. Specifically, running the code below, the text field just won't work. (I've tried it with all backing types, BTW.)

NSWindow *window = [[NSWindow alloc] initWithContentRect:NSMakeRect(300,300,300,300) styleMask:NSBorderlessWindowMask backing:NSBackingStoreBuffered defer:NO];
NSTextField *field = [[NSTextField alloc] init];
[field setEditable:YES];
[window setContentView:field];
[window makeKeyAndOrderFront:self];

But change the styleMask to NSTitledWindowMask and it works as expected.

What am I missing? Is it impossible to do this for some reason? On the subject of NSBorderlessWindowMask, the docs give the rather opaque guidance, "Useful only for display or caching purposes," as if a window was useful for anything other than display. Is there some other, better way to create a completely custom window?

I'm running 10.5.2, if that matters.

Thanks,
Peter Burtis
