Ok, I just re-checked what David's email suggests doing: using the
Inspector. Strangely enough it now works. I have to say that yesterday it
didn't. David's email, is generally correct, although misleading, since
Greek could always be typed in a control, but NOT accented Greek. Greek in
OS X is non-ascii, of course.
I have found that in some occassions, I am not sure what triggers it, IB
'acquires' many bugs!. For example, yesterday after a few hours of work on
it, I couldn't type the Greek accents neither in the control, nor in the
Inspector. Today, (and of course after restarting the program) I could type
the accents in the Inspector, but not the Control itself. It seems to be
that, David was pretty close when he said 'non-ascii' characters. What I
think happens, is that, the Dead-keys for Greek do not work, making it
impossible to enter any accented characters in the controls.
Moreover, other bugs which 'seem' to be triggered by specific actions,
include for example when defining a drawer, it is common for IB (for unknown
to me reasons) to not properly link the size of the drawer to the
orientation, therefore making it impossible to configure it properly. This
requires restarting IB to be resolved. I will try gathering more bugs as I
use IB and will post in the future.
Sorry if you had them mentioned again.
An example is the following:
Let's suppose you add a drawer to an already existing window. You place the
drawer on the right. At some point you wish to move it to the bottom, for
some obscure reason. IB, has, in some cases, kept the height(!) fixed (as it
would for the side_positioning) where the width was variable. This was fixed
when I restarted IB.
Anyway,
thanks to everyone for replying. For the time being I can use the Inspector
(and restart IB when required).

An Interface Builder bug prevents non-ASCII from being entered directly
into the controls by double clicking. However, I do believe that you can
edit the text in the Inspector.
I just tried on my copy of Interface Builder and was able to type Japanese
text in a button??
What problem are you talking about specifically???

- When creating a Greek.lproj it is impossible within any control/widget
(button, list, label, etc) to write properly accented Greek. French, for
example works fine. You can add all the accents, but with Greek it is
impossible.
