An interesting discovery. I went through all properties one by one in
NSSplitView, comparing ones that are set automatically to NSSplitView in a
MainMenu.xib and the one that are set automatically in
MyViewController.xib. When I load NSSplitView as part of another xib, its
property "arrangesAllSubviews" gets set to NO, which makes the split view
not work properly. Setting it to YES explicitly in viewDidLoad (of
NSViewController's subclass) seems to resolve the problem. I don't know
why, though. This property appeared first in ElCap 10.11.
