Graham, Thank you for your answer. Just to follow up - yes, I tried adding the view as a subview, instead of replacing the content view of the window. But the result was the same - the split view kept losing its arrangesAllSubviews property, whenever the split view was loaded from a different XIB than the window it was placed onto. So I ended up explicitly setting arrangesAllSubviews = YES in the -viewDidLoad of my NSViewController.
