It’s the absence of a feature that I’d like to see, but understand how difficult it would be to implement.

NIB owners don’t necessarily match to NIBs (XIBs) one-to-one. A controller or its creator might select a NIB on-the-fly. Or two owner classes that inherit outlets from a superclass might have NIBs of their own.

The question, then, is context: If the outlet is connected to one NIB but not the other, should Xcode fill the bubble? Opening one of the NIBs next to the owner code resolves the context.

(Not tested — for all I know Xcode guesses the context and the bubble state is indeterminate. But so far as I can tell it’s an intrinsic problem and you shouldn’t rely on current behavior.)

I am using Xcode 8.0, in El Capitan, for a Cocoa document project containing one sub-project (if that matters).

I noticed that, when I open the project file, the IBAction/IBOutlet circles in the header and source files that get filled in when a connection has been made in Interface Builder are all unfilled (implying that none are connected) and do not get filled in unless/until I select a connected IBOutlet in the corresponding .xib file.  The filling-in is then xib-specific.

Am I alone in this?  Is this a bug or a feature?
