So just for the record, thanks to a hint from Stack Overflow I was able to
solve the problem by just using ceil() on the size I get from [cell cellSize].
Maybe just passing [cell cellSize].width as a CGFloat to
NSTableColumn::setWidth() would also do the job but I haven't tested this
because my

Does it even have a superview at that point? I kinda think it doesn't, because
the method you're in is supposed to return the cell view that the table will

Yeah, but size.width is 0 too so something must be wrong in that code...

Ok, but how can I get those distances

I have a simple one-column NSTableView full of text. When I add very long lines
to it, the text that doesn't fit into the column gets cut off and replaced by
"...". I don't want that. Instead, I want to have a horizontal scrollbar that
allows the user to view the complete list entry.
