Ditto. Same goes for all of Mac OS X.
Did you guys file a request in Radar for this? ;-)
Up until 3 years ago I have filed many, many bugs and enhancement
requests against Xcode. Only one of them has been fixed in the
meantime - all others are still in state Open or marked as a
duplicate. Some of them have been marked as Behaves Correctly,
although the feature in question grossly violates the Apple HIG and
introduces a behavior that is completely different from all other
comparable applications.
My conclusion from that: for me, filing bugs is a waste of time. I'm
sorry but that's what it is. Consequently, I no longer bother to file
any bugs against Xcode.
It's somewhat funny to see that all of those problems still exist in
Xcode 3. Including a number of bugs that I never filed but that have
been there ever since the Project Builder days... There is still the
"moving preference window" bug; there is still the "right click a
target and the detail pane is unnecessarily opened" (all-in-one mode)
bug; the keyboard loop in the find panel is still broken; there is
still the fact that Xcode does not size and position the window of a
project so that it fits on the current screen (create a project on a
20" monitor, then open it on a 13" monitor); etc., etc. etc. ad
infinitum.
Sure Xcode 3 has many new features, but, well, what should I say, I'm
not interested in them. I'm only interested in bug fixes and
performance fixes. Maybe I'm just too conservative - or maybe I
prefer software that is fast and simply does its job while staying
out of my way over software that tries to be everything to everyone.
