NSTextView inspector bar not showing paragraph style and some other tools

The recent upgrade of the Mac OS seems to have removed some of the inspector bar tools from the NSTextView that formerly appears after setting usesInspectorBar to true. I see nothing in the documentation for any API for making these tools reappear. I notice that the TextEdit app's inspector bar is not missing them. Please tell me how to get my app's text view's inspector bar to look and behave like TextEdit.

turns out one can remove existing constraints on each subview of the toolbar and replace them such that those that were hidden will appear in there proper positions. and yes, I know this is frowned upon, but desperation drives me. this is my Swift 4.0 version of such code. it uses a third-party framework called SnapKit, which is simpler for me for constructing constraints:

		var x = 7.0

		for tool in subviews {
			let y = tool.isHidden ? -3.0 : -8.0

			tool.removeConstraints(tool.constraints)
			tool.snp.makeConstraints { make in
				make.left.equalToSuperview().offset(x)
				make.bottom.equalToSuperview().offset(y)
			}

			x += tool.bounds.width + 3.0
			tool.isHidden = false
		}
