In English, everything looks fine, and most other languages are auto-layouted fine, too. But when you compare it e.g. with Spanish, you'll see that some things aren't properly auto-layouted on runtime, although they are in the Assistant Editor.

It looks like the window sizing is taking precedence over some of the horizontal spacing.

Yes, but I cannot tell this "window" (which in fact is just an NSView) anything else but the Content Hugging and Content Compression Resistance priorities. What ever I tried, the run-time sheet doesn't behave like the Assistent Editor's preview does.

I really wonder if the issue is founded in the "Translates Mask Into Constraints" checkbox which is set for the main NSView:
-[NSView setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints:].

Huh? Why are you setting this, ever, if you’re using autolayout? (Other than in an attempt to control a layout going haywire, to which problem this is not the correct solution, on the face of it.)

I didn't set this, but Xcode did when I switched the XIB to Auto Layout. When I switch it off and build the app, the first time the sheet is shown it is shown wrongly, but the second time its spacings have been computed correctly.

I must admit, I had trouble with autolayout using NSBox, in part because it now seems to have an intermediate view between the box and the contents. I ended up going with a “flatter” design that didn’t use the boxes. 
As long as the Assistant Editor shows a correct behavior but the run-time version does not, I will not give up. ;-)
