"Word Wrap" and "Character Wrap" in NSTextField

I have an NSTextField, instantiated in Interface Builder 3. In Interface Builder's Inspector > Attributes I've set:

   Text Field > Layout (popup) > Wraps
   Control > Line Breaks (popup) > Word Wrap

The value binding is bound. The font size in the text field is 11 point, and its height is 45 points, enough to fit three lines.

I expect that when the string provided by the model is bigger than can fit on one line, it should wrap to the next line, but instead it is clipped at the right edge of the first line. The second and third lines are never drawn. Same thing happens if I type into the field (it's editable) -- text just fall off at the right edge.

I get the same result if I set the Line Breaks popup to Character Wrap. There is none of my code touching this NSTextField; it's all xib and bindings.

In the list archives, I see several similar issues and confirmed bugs in past years, but nothing quite like this. It looks like it "just doesn't work".

Is there something else I need to do?

Thanks
