I've seen this happen *every* time in IB if the items in question are within an NSView. It was driving me crazy for a while until I figured out (completely by accident) that the order has to be reversed when you're setting up the NIB/XIB file for it to work correctly.

It's a real PITA because to see and edit the text which you want, eventually, to appear on top of the image, you constantly have to select the image/text and go the Layout menu and move it back and forward as required, and then remember to move the text back behind the image before you save and rebuild your project.


No, you don't have to constantly re-arrange things. It would be nice if there were some sort of "layers" in IB. However, all you need to do to edit it is change the "document" window view from Icon view to List view or Column view. You can then select exactly what you want to work with from there. As your Nib/Xib gets more complex, this is necessary. Beyond that, you may find yourself setting a lot of things in code at some point...
