1. AFAICT, the documentation window is now *always* disabled in
Xcode's dock icon menu. This means (for example) if you've turned
"Minimize windows into application icon" in System Preferences, you
can't get the documentation window back via the dock. Bug?
2. The behavior of Command-` has apparently changed. [This may be a
system-wide in Snow Leopard, but I only care about the Xcode
behavior.] Previously, Command-` sent the front window to the back,
which was useful with multiple overlapping windows in the following
common scenario: If the front window is a text editor, Command-` would
reveal the text editor window lurking behind it, even if it wasn't the
next window. Then a simple click would bring that window to the front.
With the new behavior, Command-` often brings a project or other non-
editing window to the front, requiring a *variable* number of Command-
` actions to get to the next text editor window, and that requires
considerably more UI brain power.
I can't find any Xcode function to bind to a key combination. Is there
one in there somewhere that I missed? Or has anyone got any
suggestions (other than "quit whining about it") for an alternative
that's as convenient as the old way of doing it?
3. IB has always been a bit flaky about respecting the Space to which
it's assigned. (In Spaces, I have Xcode permanently assigned to one
Space, and IB permanently assigned to a different space.) Since Snow
Leopard/IB 3.2, it's seems flakier. AFAICT, if you double-click on a
XIB file in the project window in Xcode, and IB 3.2 doesn't have any
windows open apart from its inspectors, the file will open in Xcode's
Space instead of the Space that IB is assigned to. Bug?
