Yes, the data formatters in the debugger do not always work. Typing "po <object>" (e.g. po [pnl objectAtIndex:0]) normally works. "po" stand for "print object". > > Does anyone else find XCode extremely buggy? Not at all. For me Xcode is extremely robust and a lot of fun to use. I use the latest version under Snow Leopard, but it was mostly the same under Leopard, too. My impression was that Xcode gained a lot of robustness when it was switched to GC. > I have to continually close and reopen my editing window because the code > display gets trashed and appears to scramble my code.
