Since there isn't an Interface Builder mailing list...
There is a really annoying bug in Interface Builder 2.4 (v349).
(This is for a Carbon window)
Any controls inside a Tab control will be shifted down four pixels
every time the NIB is saved, closed and reopened.
As you can imagine, this makes editing such a nib a real pain :(
Below are the contents of a sample Nib's sub-files since attachments
can't be posted here. The sample NIB is self explanatory in Interface
Builder

If you want (or if the following gets munged in the mail), you can
download the real NIB from my idisk's public folder (mattg)
classes.nib
{
IBClasses = ();
IBVersion = 1;
}
end of classes.nib
