i have the following behaviour in Xcode 2.4

1-i open a file, it shows lines 157-204
2-if i hit an arrow-button, the window scrolls to the cursor position (line 228)
3-if i move the cursor up to, say line 20, save the file, close the file, open the file again
it again shows lines 157-204

what i would like Xcode to do is:

1-open the file with the cursor in view (in step 1: f.i. show lines 200-240)
2-remember the last cursor position (in step 3: f.i. show lines 0-40)

how do i get Xcode to do this?

Check to make sure "Save Window State" is checked in the General Prefs. It sounds to me like it's off, but the window state for that file was previously saved (which means it continues to open at that stale location).

FWIW, I always have "Save Window State" checked and I get the behavior Perry describes on a regular basis. In order to get it to work, I have to do something like:

yep, got that one on

• Clear file history.
• Move to the top of the file.
• Type a bunch of returns.
• Save the file.
• Close the window.
• Re-open the window.
• Delete the extraneous returns.
• Move to the target selection area and enter the selection.
• Save the file.

If that doesn't work, then clean every target in the project, quit Xcode, remove the directory containing the intermediate files and start afresh.

hmm, that consumes alot of time

and it is is not a 100% solution

In any case, it sounds like Philip is running into a real bug. Filing a report would be best. And it would be especially good if you can include the project file and source file, along with the com.apple.Xcode.plist preferences file.

no problem at all, except for the fact that my project is relatively big (25 mb zipped)

how do others handle this, where does one upload such a big zip file?
