Use setContentMinSize: instead.
I think it's just that, if you use -setContentMinSize:, you shouldn't also use -setMinSize:. The docs for -setContentMinSize: say: "This method takes precedence over setMinSize:." https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/cocoa/reference/applicationkit/Classes/NSWindow_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000013-BCIFFEJE A similar note is in the docs for -setMinSize:. > As to science, I just submitted this Document Feedback on -[NSWindow > setMinSize:} > > ------------------------------------------------- > > In -setMinSize:, it says "The minimum size constraint is enforced for > resizing by the user as well as for the setFrame... methods other than > setFrame:display: and setFrame:display:animate:." > > This statement is confusing.

Really? You don't see -setFrameFromString:, -setFrameOrigin:, etc.? > Second, please clarify what is meant by "enforce".

This behavior should be explained. I think the failure of -setMinSize: to do what you expect is explained by you also using -setContentMinSize:.
