Yes, it was in a scroll view. I did not notice that IB does this
automatically when you drag an NSTextView to a window.

Ahhh... i didn't know you could do that, cool.

You're right of course.
Anyway, I think I'm giving up on NSTextView! I moved it out of the
scroll view (which was not obvious how to do either) but then it displays
in the wrong part of the window. What I really want is an NSTextField,
but since it doesn't support NSLinkAttributeName, I tried using an
NSTextView, but they really aren't that similar. I'm going to try
subclassing NSTextField I guess. :(
Thanks for your help, I learned several things!
