On 12/24/2007 I let Xcode update "Core Reference Library" etc.
using the RSS-style update (that produces the filled circle progress
indicator). Post-update all the files are there but the markers/
bookmarks internal to each file have now disappeared. Now I
sometimes thought there were too many of these, but they were handy.
Should I file a bug report or it this the way it is supposed to be?
I'm not I understand what you mean by "markers/bookmarks". If you
mean the pop-up menu next to the document pop-up that lets you jump to
individual methods, functions, constants, etc. within the page, I have
seen something similar.
If I search for a method (for example, typing "setbyadd" in the search
field) and then click on one of the matches (e.g.
"setByAddingObject:"), the resulting page does not have a function/
method/etc. pop-up. However, if I click on the same match a second
time, then the page refreshes and the pop-up does show up.
It's a nuisance, but it gets me the functionality I need.
Also, I may be misremembering but I don't think the pages used to show
the table of contents on the left of the page. Now they do. I can
click the Hide TOC link to get back to the display I'm used to, but
that's an additional nuisance. Also, if I want the function/method/
etc. pop-up I need to perform the first trick before clicking Hide
TOC. Doing it in the reverse order fails because the second click on
the search match causes the table of contents to reappear.
I just now did a bit of experimenting. Using the "breadcrumb" link
for the reference page also switches from lacking the pop-up to
showing it.
More experimentation: the lack of the pop-up seems to be a timing
thing. If I keep clicking on a search match, the pop-up will
sometimes show and sometimes vanish. It is not as simple as it
toggling back and forth with each click. It seems random. My guess
is it's a race condition between the parsing and layout of the HTML
(and CSS?) and the layout of the window elements. If the former has
not completed before the latter, then the window doesn't know it needs
a pop-up and hides it (or fails to create it).
