Yes, I’m using -bundleForClass - you never know when you might move a handy object into a framework:)

Yep, now I’ve got past the basic problems this is working as expected.

I think I’ve got to the root cause of this. IB is using -initWithCoder: to initialise the view, even though “prefer coder” is unchecked. That means all the initialisation I’m doing in -initWithFrame: is being bypassed, leading to some non-useful default values. Also, the -prepareForInterfaceBuilder method is being called every time a property is changed, as part of the updating of the preview. No problem, except it means it’s not a good place to set up default property values. Some refactoring of my init methods will sort this out, though so would IB honouring the ‘prefer coder’ setting.
