Xcode gets into wonky states where menu bar and some windows disappear

In addition to all the maddening window activation problems* Mac OS X has, in general (I think since Tiger, at least), Xcode sometimes does some especially erratic things.

Just now, I was in Terminal.app, I click on the dock icon for Xcode, and I saw something flash out of the corner of my eye. I think it was the project window (I use the condensed view) disappearing. The menu bar still belonged to Terminal.app. One source file is still open. If I click (with another app frontmost) in the window anywhere but the title bar, the click is ignored. If I click in the title bar, the window comes forward, but the adornment is not redrawn to indicate an active window. The previously-active window appears properly deactivated.

No matter how I attempt to activate Xcode, its menu bar never returns, and I can't quit the app.

Anyone else seeing this?

* I'm sure you've all seen it: you click in another window, and the click is seemingly ignored; two windows will be active at the same time (in the same or different apps); the non-frontmost window will still have keyboard focus (same or different apps)...
