NSColorWell not sending action on click?

Question

Inside my .xib, I've placed an NSColorWell inside an NSView, and connected an IBAction in the controller to the NSColorWell's Sent Actions (via File's Owner). I figured I would respond to a click in my controller and send activate to bring up the NSColorPanel.

But unlike other my controls, I'm not getting the IBAction called. Clicking invokes a drag action on the color. I noticed this control doesn't derive from NSActionCell (like all my other controls). What's the proper control that is supposed to be used to both display a color and invoke the NSColorWell when clicked?

(note: this is Xcode/IB 3.2.x)

You listed both osx and ios in the tags, but I'm guessing this is an OS X problem.

There is a "Bordered" checkbox in IB's Attributes Inspector for NSColorWell. This toggles between a button-style color well, which is what you're asking for, and a color well which you can only drag a color swatch from. Make sure that's checked and you'll get the action like you're expecting.
