I don't see a problem in your drawRect: code, so it'd be in something
you haven't posted. Perhaps you could post a sample application?
One possibility is that your -isOpaque method returns YES, so the view
system thinks it doesn't have to redraw your superview before asking
you to draw.
If you're subclassing NSView, you'd have to opt-in to return YES from
-isOpaque, but if you're subclassing a deeper AppKit view class, it
may already be marked as opaque.
