building NSMatrix in IB: setting tags

Hi,

I'm trying to create a matrix of NSComboBoxes in IB. With an NSTextField or an NSButton, I option-drag on a sizing handle to create the matrix. When I select the resulting matrix of controls and look at the info panel, the Tags = Positions button is dimmed. Each control has a tag depending on its situation in the array (0, 1, 2, etc). But-- if I try to do exactly the same thing with an NSComboBox, the Tags = Positions button is dimmed, but the comboBoxes' tags are *not* set by position. They are all 0. What's more, if I change the tag of any comboBox in this matrix, the tags of every comboBox change to that number. I do not have "Match Prototype" selected-- but shouldn't one be able to set different tags for different boxes even if they are following the same prototype? what am I missing?
Also, if I try to option-drag on an NSPopUpButton to create a matrix, no matrix is created. I'm searching the docs but I don't understand why matrices of comboBoxes or PopUpBottons should be so different... any clues? Can anyone else replicate this? thanks
