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 guess I forgot to mention IB specifically, didn't I.

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?
I'm well aware of all of that. And no, it's not always at the top line which is the resizing problem I mentioned. It's initially there, but if you resize the scroll view in certain ways, the text view can be {w, 0} sized and be completely impossible to click on. In IB 2 and 3, you could always resize it again in a funny way and get it to be the height of the entire scrollview, but that's doesn't work at all. Either way, this is besides the point.
No amount of double-clicking on *the text view* pops open the field editor to make it editable.
