I fixed the problem. My biggest concern was that I forgot that I could enter a control and not have it inadvertently change all of the multiply selected items. I saw this behavior before. Anyway, when I bind a control to an NSArrayController, I must set the control's action to "Sent on Enter only". I had it set to "Sent on End of Editing" which cause the control to clear out the value for all of the selected cues when I finished editing.
