The problem is with any nib, including new nibs I create as a test.
I cannot find any IB related stuff in my ~/Library of the
affected account except the preferences. The Caches dir for IB
is empty.
I ditched the ~/Library/Caches/Iinterface Builder directory,
which was empty with 0 items, and the problem went away.
That seems to have been unrelated. As I did NOT QUIT IB, and when
I went back to it it was no longer working and deleting the Caches
Interface Builder directory did not fix it.
HOWEVER, I can sort of reproduce the problem now on my 10.4.8 G5.
(I have no haxies installed that I know of -- I run a pretty bog
stock machine). My 10.4.6/7 intel mini does not have the problem
even when following the steps I will outline, but I am now updating
it to 10.4.8 to test.
On my 10.4.8 G5, if I run Terminal.app, then when I run Interface
Builder, I cannot control-drag any connections -- the interface
elements do not highlight and let me complete the control-drag,
though I do get the control-drag conection line coming out of the
source etc. Just the target interface elements do not highlight.
If I quit Terminal, it works again.
I did this several times. However, when I went to do it while
writing this, it did not happen. However, once I quit SKYPE then I
could control-drag again. So some sort of collateral damage is
happening between running apps. Maybe the window server gets
confused?
OK, I did a cold boot. I logged in. Skype launches itself on
login. I launched Safari, Mail, iChat, XCode with my project. From
XCode I launched IB with my nib. IB does not allow control-dragging.
I quit Skype. Still no go with IB. I quit iChat. Still no go. I
quit Mail. Still no go. I quit Safari, still no go. I quit Xcode,
leaving only IB running. Now IB works.
Looking in the system log, I do not see anything obvious.
Pulling my hair out.
