It looks like the window sizing is taking precedence over some of the 
horizontal spacing.

IIRC, the assistant editor shows the sub-hierarchy starting from the selected 
view, which means it won’t reflect the effects of autolayout on the window 
itself. My guess is that you either have an error in the constraints for the 
contents of the boxes, or you have an ambiguity (or error) in the priorities 
relative to the priority of horizontal window resizing.

Huh? Why are you setting this, ever, if you’re using autolayout? (Other than in 
an attempt to control a layout going haywire, to which problem this is not the 
correct solution, on the face of it.)

Is this an app where you can use NSStackView? IIRC, it was introduced in 10.9, 
and dramatically improved in 10.11. If you can, I’d suggest you try laying this 
out with nested stack views. (However, the 6 text fields and aligned labels are 
bit hard to lay out properly with stack views. For those, I’d suggest manual 
constraints on 2 new custom subviews of the boxes. Everything else looks like 
it would be easy in stack views.

I must admit, I had trouble with autolayout using NSBox, in part because it now 
seems to have an intermediate view between the box and the contents. I ended up 
going with a “flatter” design that didn’t use the boxes.
