Update

The documentation for -[NSTextField selectText:] states "If the receiver isn’t 
in some window’s view hierarchy, this method has no effect.”

I have verified that the text field is in the window’s view hierarchy. I have 
verified that -[NSTextField selectText:] is getting called. (Actually it is 
getting called twice, once by the frameworks for some reason, and once by me.) 
Calling the method -[NSTextField isSelectable] returns YES.

It appears that -[NSTextField selectText:] is broken in 10.10 Yosemite. It just 
does not work.
