Yes, the data formatters in the debugger do not always work. Typing "po <object>" (e.g. po [pnl objectAtIndex:0]) normally works. "po" stand for "print object".

Not at all. For me Xcode is extremely robust and a lot of fun to use. I use the latest version under Snow Leopard, but it was mostly the same under Leopard, too. My impression was that Xcode gained a lot of robustness when it was switched to GC.

It doesn't really change the source code file; it just makes it look as if I've randomly gone through the file deleting stuff, and when I see that happen, I immediately save, close, and reopen the window, and everything is fine.

Sounds scary, i’ve never seen this.

They aren’t. There must be something very special with your setup.
