Layout manager's -rectArrayForCharacterRange:::: returns zero rectangles??

I'm trying to write some code which figures out where the insertion point is located, every time the selection changes. (Imagine a text editor which has a "current line number" indicator at the bottom of the screen that stays updated as the user types.)

To do this, in my text view's delegate, I have implemented the delegate method -textViewDidChangeSelection:. From there I call -selectedRange and then ask the layout manager for the rectangles via:

NSRectArray rects = [[myTextView layoutManager] rectArrayForCharacterRange:selection
withinSelectedCharacterRange:NSMakeRange(NSNotFound, 0)
inTextContainer:[myTextView textContainer]
rectCount:&rectCount];


Normally, this works perfectly.

However, if I go to the very end of the document and start making insertions or deletions, I don't get a rectangle back—"rectCount" is zero. I've checked [[[TextView() textStorage] string] length] and compared it against the selection, so I'm pretty confident that I'm not querying past the end of the text, which in the past is the only time I've seen behavior like this up until now.

Any ideas as to what's wrong? This seems pretty straightforward to me so I'm not sure what I'm missing.
