Interface Builder question : frozen NSTextField

             Hello all,

 I'll first ask an abstract question and then give an example
where the problem occurs. The question : if a NSTextField that
you want to modify in a nib file is "frozen" (everything appears
shaded and uneditable in the IB inspector, and double-clicking on
the NSTextField does not provide you access to the content text),
what is happening ? (This has nothing to do
with read/write permissions and is a pure "IB-editing" problem) How can
the  usual behaviour be restored ? I don't want to delete and recreate the
NSTextField,
because that might break existing connections or other data that
I am unaware of (I am localizing my Mac for Breton and creating
"br.lproj" copies of "pt.lproj" directories, hence the need to modify
copies of already
existing nibs).

  The example ( on my mac 10.4.0) :
the NSTextField containing the message "If an application doesn't respond
for a while, select its name and click Force Quit." in
the "processes" panel in
/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/Resources/pt.lproj/ProcessPanel.nib

 Note that the problem does not appear in the
"English.lproj" version, so it can be dealt with easily
enough here. Still, I would be interested to know if there
is a direct way to "unfreeze" the NSTextField in Interface
Builder ? TIA,

                                Ewan
