Transparent NSTextField and annoying black square

Hi there,

I'm trying to create a trasparent text field inside a borderless window.
So, I create a new NSWindow like this :
[ logWindow
            initWithContentRect: logWindowRect
            styleMask: NSBorderlessWindowMask
            backing: NSBackingStoreBuffered
            defer: NO
    ];

And set hist content view to the one I made in InterfaceBuilder.
Inside this view there is a TextField with transparent background
(opacity 0%) and I always get a black square in the bottom left corner
of my window :

[demime 0.98b removed an attachment of type image/tiff which had a name of pastedGraphic1.tiff]
When I dbl click the textfield in IB to edit the TextView directly, I=20
see that his top/left y value is -173 (red) and I'm afraid the black=20
square is 173 pixels.

I think this is a bug in IB, but how to solve it ?

Thanks !
