It's not even just the old problem of the text view being resized to be un-selectable (that's STILL a problem, and STILL maddening), but even selecting it, double-clicking on it gives me no field editor. I can't edit the text at all. (Yes, editing is enabled). This is for any text view. Text fields work fine.

I interpret your problem to be: You dragged a "Text View" into a window or other view in Interface Builder (within, as you say, Xcode), and you want to prepopulate the view with some text of your own.

But your use of the phrase "field editor" puzzles me. All field editors are text views, but not all text views (such as the one you drag in from the library) are field editors. So I may be wrong about what you're saying.

What you drag into the IB canvas from the library is an NSScrollView, with its hierarchy of views, at the bottom of which is an NSTextView. The text view in the scroller is very small — just a line at the top of the whole area of the scroll view. Are you sure you've been clicking in that top line, repeatedly to descend through the view hierarchy to the text view?
