I have an NSTableView in a document window, and a utility window which functions as an inspector, so its content is bound to the selected object in the table in the document window. Everything seems fine, but there is a place which doesn't function as I expect.

In the inspector, I can change the display name of the object, which makes the table drop its selection, so that nothing is selected any more. All OK, but the tableViewSelectionDidChange: delegate method isn't called in this instance. In a way, I can see that it's not the user changing the selection, but the problem becomes that now the inspector is still pointed at an object, but there's no selection, and the logic goes badly wrong.

Am I doing things incorrectly, or is there something that I can do to ensure that the change to the underlying array shown by the table triggers a selection change?

Do you have an NSArrayController in the mix somewhere? I think the usual way to hook this 
up is to bind to an NSArrayController, Controller Key "selection". It's kinda 
hard to offer much more help without knowing your exact setup. You mention using 
bindings, but also mention the tableViewSelectionDidChange method. Either you connect 
everything with bindings and it works automatically, or you look for changes via the 
delegate and reflect them in your inspector manually.
