It is unclear why you need to resize your view inside of -drawRect:. 
This is surely the root cause of your problem.

If your view cannot be automatically resized when the window is 
resized via springs and struts, use the appropriate mechanism to 
adjust the view's frame.

Resizing the view inside of -drawRect: doesn't sound like good design. 
And it isn't terribly surprising that it might confuse the code which 
tracks view invalidation.
