It looks like there's a bug in NSScrollView, where it stops calling -
tile when it's rotated.

You can work around the problem by listening to the scroll view's 
frame change notifications, and calling -tile on it manually.


I submitted a bug against this with source code to demonstrate the 
problem: <rdar://5908380>


Corbin - there's also a bug where the table headers aren't drawn 
correctly when it's rotated.  I didn't submit a bug on that one - let 
me know if you'd like me to.  It'd take just a quick edit of the 
sample code I did above to have the table headers showing.
