Hi, Steve!
My experience is that drawers have always been buggy -- and drawers
have had issues with Garbage Collection, too, under Leopard (although
I haven't tested any drawers in a GC app since I upgraded from 10.5.2
to to 10.5.3 the other day).
Also, I've read on this list that drawers confuse people, and *some*
might even call them poor UI. There are alternatives for some
situations, in my opinion, such as child/parent window pairings,
inspector utility windows, and controls in toolbars.
That said, I don't have an exact answer for your main issue -- I think
that someone else will likely have one that will solve it -- but in
response to your last question, I would personally give up on the
drawer. They've been nothing but trouble -- which is perhaps why
Apple has all but dumped them in their own programs -- Mail.app's
sidebar, for instance, is now a source list in the main window,
instead of being in a drawer.
Cheers,
Andrew

I'm working on a plugin that needs to do some involved setup, and
I'm handling this in a modal window since the setup has to be done
in an atomic fashion. The window also has an attached drawer. What
I'm finding is that I can open and close the drawer, and a table
view in the drawer will scroll if I move a scroll wheel while the
mouse is over the table, but if I click on any of the controls in
the drawer, I just hear a beep instead of having something useful
happen.
Is this expected behavior? Is there any way to allow the drawer to
process user events or should I give up on the drawer?
