What I'm asking is precisely how to *avoid* this and go *directly* in the *full* documentation window to the API to which the Quick Help is linked, like what Command-Option-double-click used to do. I don't think there's a way. Unless you're seeing a different behaviour? m.

What are you taking about? In Xcode 3.x, you just command double click a symbol and you go straight to the full documentation. There are no popups and no intermediate views. It was nice and direct.
