There's a fix for this in the trunk, which I just merged to the 1.3  
branch.

The IDE is currently using the Cocoa text system for handing text  
display and input.  On the one hand, we get an amazing amount of stuff  
"for free" by doing this.  On the other hand, it can be a real pain  
trying to keep Hemlock's and Cocoa's view of things in sync...
