Another easy recipe for self-confusion:

Launch InterfaceBuilder; Command-n to start a new application.

Drag a slider from the Views palette to My Window.  Hit
Command-1.  In the (Attributes) Inspector window, set its
maximum value to 100.  Click OK.

Drag a Form to My Window.  Set its Text alignment to RIGHT.
Control-Drag from the slider to the FormCell, and connect to the
takeIntValueFrom: action.  Click Connect.

Now Command-r to test the interface.  So far, so good.

Command-q; select the Form and hit Command-1 again.  Click the
Scrollable switch and OK.  Now test the interface again.

Hmm... nothing seems to be happening.  Now click on the form and
do Command-a.  Something IS there.  Click in front of it and type
a digit.  Surprise!

Now try changing the Text alignment to LEFT and test again.

Now try changing the Text alignment to CENTERED and test again.

Confused???  I sure am!
