Sorry for stepping in, but I have seen this behavior as well in the last week … 
I had this in the tree ...

 - NSView
   - NSView (layer backed for AVPlayer)
   - NSButton

… and NSButton was invisible - to be more precise, this button wasn't drawn in 
correct order, but it did work = I was able to click on it. This invisibility 
was random. To fix correct drawing order, I had to set wantsLayer = YES on the 
root NSView as well. And then it was fixed and no more random invisibility.
