Summary:
Using IB to create an interface, and then assigning a font via code (though even in IB results in the same behaviour) will cause a baseline issue depending if "Uses single line mode" is enabled

See:
http://cl.ly/image/0Q2z1x3g0v0A "Uses single line mode" is enabled
http://cl.ly/image/0X0R0i2u2s00 "Uses single line mode" is DISabled

Steps to Reproduce:

 - create XIB
 - add NSTextField
 - add text with tall ascenders (to see issue more clearly)
 - set to any font family, size 21 (or greater to see issue more clearly)
 - toggle "Uses Single Line Mode" to see text jump baseline in IB (and when app is executed)

For completeness, this is my properties inspector: http://cl.ly/image/2n473v0P1y38

Expected Results:

Text should be visible always

Actual Results:

Tops of tall characters are hidden when "Uses single line mode" is enabled
Regression:

Notes:

Xcode 4.6.2
OS X 10.8.3

13-May-2013 09:21 AM Apple Developer Bug Reporting Team :

Thanks very much for the feedback.

Engineering has determined that this issue behaves as intended based on the following information:

This behaves correctly according to the documentation for NSCell:

Cells in the single line mode use the fixed baseline layout. The text baseline position is determined solely by the control size regardless of content font style or size.
