I suggest filing this as a feature request.

I agree. What's the official name of that popup so they'll know what I'm talking about when I write it up?


I find it hard to believe that isn't just a constant that could be
specified by a preference.

I find it hard to believe it isn't already specified by a preference. An
advanced or expert preference perhaps, but 20 is so arbitrary and so easy
to NOT have #defined into the code, it just seems bizarre if it is.

Well, no one's offered a way to change it so far. ;-) I wouldn't be a bit surprised if that value dates back to Project Builder's NeXT days and no one's ever bothered to change it. Sometimes in our frustration with Xcode I think we forget that it has a lot of old code in it, some of which I'm sure predates Mac OS X. Granted, we'd like to see Apple loosen the purse strings and really bring it up to the level of a top-notch, Mac-like development environment, but it is what it is and they don't generate any revenue with it, so there you go. I'm sure the engineers who work on it do the best they can given their time constraints and resources.
