I've seen something like this since Xcode 4.2 where certain parts of the Inspector panel stop working entirely. Sometimes, if you select a VC, only the most recent class of your classes will not appear in the Class popup for the Class inspector.
Also, in the Storyboard Inspector panel, when an item in the storyboard is selected (say a button), very often, nothing is displayed in the Size Inspector, the Attributes Inspector, or the Class Inspector.
It's like part of the storyboard just stops working and you are forced to restart.
I've got no idea what conditions reproduce this though. I'll spend some time to see if it's as common in 4.5.2 as it was previously.
What's more annoying though is that I often work in 3 projects at the same time, or go through one project after another. Since we can name tabs, I've called one Debugger, one Console, etc… . I often see classes displayed in some tabs that are not in the current project, but were in projects I was looking at 30 minutes ago.
As I'll open code from 2 months ago, it's really dangerous in that the user has to make sure that what they're looking at is actually in the current project or if it's older code that just happened to display when you were debugging a project earlier on in the day and the displayed code is just left over from that session and not even in the opened project!
Of course refreshing the window by selecting an h or m file in the nav updates the contents, but since windows aren't really a window of one thing, but these collections of multiple functionality, it's all easy to take a window you want to just be the debugger, or just be the console, expand the splitter to show the code in it and end up looking at 100% incorrect data. Also, what's misleading is that if you have one of these windows in the background, it's really misleading.
