WAIT.
"XCode 4 does not index files in blue folders"
Does this mean that if I create my own folder hierarchy on disk, placing my various .h/.m files into different folders to organize my code files on disk, that Xcode 4 won't index my code?
If so, could someone tell me what will stop working?
Could this explain why Issue Navigator is no longer taking me to the source line of code for issues?

Oh, it's simpler than that: XCode 4 does not index files in blue folders, and an Apple engineer was looking right at my project when he told me that it's intentional - that they'd expected code would go in yellow folders and only things like image files and other non-code resources would go in blue.
I believe that one of the things an IDE should do is track files being added and removed, so I'm sticking with blue, especially since there's probably at least 1000 *folders* in the whole source tree.
There is a bug on the static text editing, and it is actually useful to edit it there. It's a multi-line description of a feature in a settings pane; not something that can be just substituted in at runtime if we want it to look right in all languages.

You should hunt down that bug and file a bug report. You may have a malformed .h file in your project directory (it doesn't need to be referenced in your project, just a stray .h file in the directory along with your projects. etc. ... or a C++ syntax error that Xcode 4 can't parse (it happens...).
For us, Xcode 4 indexes about million lines of code over 1000 files or so. So, it is doable (in our case).

You should file a bug report ...
but editing static text in NSTextViews isn't that useful (IMHO). We removed all that stuff from our nibs a long time ago because it just didn't seem right.
... being in tech support myself, a "review" on a forum or list is no where near as useful as a bug report.
