Rua,
This won't work with an instance of the "custom view" in the toolbar. A workaround would be to use a borderless (Custom / No Border) NSBox instead of a custom view. This is probably the most straightforward fix.
There is some more info in this older post to the list: http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/cocoa/236455-nstoolbaritem-with-custom-view-in-interface-builder-3-leopard.html
