For quite some time (back into beta days), I have noticed that Xcode ignores
the first click in many circumstances. Actually, it ignores several "first
time" actions, so it might not just be a click issue.


I am curious to know if everyone experiences this. I haven't seen it
mentioned, so it occurs to me that it may be something else on my system
that is causing this very annoying problem.


Examples:

I click in a source file to place the text insertion point, but it doesn't
"take." When I start typing, the text is inserted wherever the text
insertion point was last located.

I don't seem to see this. It would be good to file a bug with very specific instructions on how to reproduce this at <http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter>.


I try to reduce two adjacent space characters to a single space character by
hitting the delete key while the insertion point is located after the second
space character. Both space characters are deleted, and I have to type the
space bar once to reinsert a single space character. (Maybe this is a
different issue.)

This is a known issue.

I edit my source files, then click the build button. The project asks me to
save the edited files, which I do, and it then builds. But the error
messages are based on the source file as it existed before the edits I just
saved. I have to hit the build button a second time to get the build system
to recognize the edited source files.

There was a known issue where the temporary text from an in-progress code completion would end up being compiled into a file when speculative compilation was turned on. This is fixed for our next release. If this isn't what you're seeing, then please also file a bug for this as well.


Oddly, the first two issues sometimes (but not always) hit me when I'm
typing in TextEdit or some other application, but apparently only after or
while I've been using Xcode.


Is Xcode making on-the-fly changes to system routines related to text
editing, and failing to remove them when I switch to another application?
What's going on?

The first issue could certainly be a general Cocoa issue. That wouldn't surprise me. But the second issue should certainly only be happening in Xcode. If you see something similar in TextEdit then please file a new bug for it - it can't be the known Xcode issue.
