Follow-up Comment #3:

I just tested and both of these lines work perfectly:

   [txt setStringValue: [arr description]];
   [txt setObjectValue: arr];

I will decline this bug report. What is strange is that GNUstep is not able
to report properly what is going wrong. When trying to show an alert panel
with the doesNotRecognizeSelector: message the text cell falls over as the
arguments cannot be handled as text. This leads to a very strange output. But
this is an unrelated issue:

Array2TxtFld.app/Array2TxtFld: Uncaught exception NSGenericException, reason:
Glyph generation was triggered for a layout manager while the text storage it
was attached to had unprocessed editing. This is not allowed. Glyph
generation may be triggered only at points where calls to -beginEditing and
-endEditing are balanced.

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
