Force update of NSTableView

In the last years I have been using NSTableView for the central part of the UI of my app. However, in most cases when starting the inset selection type is not shown:

Only when I move the nearby window splitter back and forth the correct selection type is shown:

Moving the splitter in code does not force this update. Does anyone have an idea what else I could do? As always plugin solutions are fine.

Would it work to set the focus on the splitter, and then back to the nstableview?
