From your original description of what you were doing, it struck me that the
problem isn't just having a drawer that's too large. I couldn't put my
finger on it, though. But Matt's right, you shouldn't make it larger than
its parent window. In fact, you aren't supposed to set its height (for a
left or right drawer) at all, but let Cocoa calculate it for you.
