Adding an NSTextAttachment with an image to NSMutableAttributedString does not appear immediately

I'm trying to add an image to an NSMutableAttributedString via NSTextAttachment, the trouble is that the image doesn't seem to appear until I restart the app. Any ideas? 

var attributesForThisSection = [String : Any]()

if key == NSAttachmentAttributeName {

    let base64Rep = (value as! String)

    if let data = Data(base64Encoded: base64Rep) {

        let textAttachment = NSTextAttachment()
        if let img = NSImage(data: data) {
            textAttachment.image = img
            attributesForThisSection[NSAttachmentAttributeName] = textAttachment
        }
        else {
            print("img from data not ok")
        }

    }

}

Then

let r = NSMakeRange(loc, len)
attributedString?.addAttributes(attributesForThisSection, range: r)

The text is displayed in an NSTextView, thanks!

Turns out all I had to do was replace

textAttachment.image = img

With

let attachmentCell = NSTextAttachmentCell(imageCell: img)
textAttachment.attachmentCell = attachmentCell
