You need to figure this out first. It's indicative of a deeper problem.
Are you referring to the window property of a custom subclass of NSWindowController? Is this window controller being instantiated in code? If so, what initializer is called? How is that initializer implemented? In particular, I'm looking to make sure that -initWithWindowNibName: was called, or, if -initWithWindowNibName:owner: was called instead that the window controller passed itself as the owner (making use of that method redundant).
In the NIB, did you set the class of File's Owner to be your window controller class? Was it File's Owner's window outlet that you hooked up? A common mistake is to actually instantiate the window controller in the NIB and therefore have two window controllers. That won't work right, obviously.
At what point did you attempt to use the window outlet? If it was before -awakeFromNib or -windowDidLoad, it would be too early. A common mistake is to attempt to reference the window during the initializer.

Did you set the initialFirstResponder outlet of the window to point to the first key view in your loop? According to the docs for -[NSWindow recalculateKeyViewLoop], it is called "when [the window] is first loaded, ... automatically if your window does not have a key view loop already established". I suspect that means if initialFirstResponder is not set. So, I suspect that failing to set that means that the method will blow away your configuration of nextKeyView connections.
