What’s _theMatrix’s frame? It could either have an origin that puts it at the top, or it could draw its content in its upper-left and have a size that fills the superview, or its superview could return YES from -isFlipped.

See -[NSView isFlipped].

No, it’s the window’s private NSThemeFrame, or nil if the window is borderless. Windows and screens are not views.

Flippedness does not cascade; every NSView’s bounds coordinate system is independent. If a view returns NO from -isFlipped, then drawing at (0,0) in that view’s bounds will always draw at the lower left of that view, regardless of whether any ancestors return YES from -isFlipped.
