On a related note, syntax coloring sometimes
misbehaves in the xcode editor when adding
comments or code snippets from another
window. Not very producible but happens, and
when it does the only way to get the colors
updated properly is to scroll up and down.
<whine alert>
Personally I like the extensive text coloring options
as found in Codewarrior, and on Windows side of things
VisualStudio+VisualAssist's definition/type/
lookups/popups and macros, etc.
"Jump to definition" and "Lookup in API docs" etc are
useful, but how about much concise 'pop ups'...
not unlike how it's starting to be implemented in the
xcode doc section. It's great, but how about having
something like that available from the editor too?
I have tried using external editors like Textmate and
BBE but prefer working within an IDE. Are not there
any 'mods' or extensions available to Xcode's editor?

Exactly, and thanks for bringing this up. Since switching to
Xcode I've gotten used to becoming disoriented when that happens
and just put up with taking a second to find the caret after the
window abruptly jumps up/down half a page. I'm not saying that I
now like it, just that I forgot about horrible this behavior
really is. Turning on Smooth Scrolling doesn't really help either
- it's still disorienting.
This must be a "feature" of whatever Xcode uses as a text editor.
TextEdit and Mail do it too. If there isn't an advanced pref for
turning this off, we need to request they add a pref for it,
possibly even a system pref so I can turn it off for all apps
that use it.
This is indeed standard AppKit behavior (rdar://2561308) with a
specific enhancement request for Xcode to work around it (rdar://
3325702).
Thanks a mil if you guys can fix this. It's the world's #1
productivity killer in XCode for me.
