I just came across a really strange behavior in Interface Builder (Xcode 3.1.2) in that IB doesn't save changes made to the layout of a toolbar.

I wanted to remove a space separator from the default layout and no matter what I did, I couldn't make the change stick. Closing and reopening the window would reset the toolbar to its previous setup. I noticed that IB doesn't register an undo action if a space separator is removed or added. IB also doesn't care if I only reorder the items (separators and others), the change doesn't stick (although an undo action is registered).

I found that the way to make the change stick was to remove and add again a non-separator item.

Is this something someone else has noticed? I never did notice this before and I played with the particular toolbar a lot. Is there something special about my toolbar (I use NSSegmentedControls and one NSPopUpButton on it) that could trigger such behavior?

This was a known bug in IB 3.0, so I guess it was never fixed or else it reappeared recently.


When I ran into this, I found that if I put a space separator as the first toolbar item and left it there, then other changes to the toolbar usually would stick and save. This gave the toolbar a sort of indented look, but that wasn't too awful.
