Xcode Developer Documentation Link Hover Jumps To Top

Question

I don\'t know how I got into this state, but the Xcode documentation window has been exhibiting this strange behavior of \"jumping to top\" whenever I hover over a link in o

Answer 1

Thanks for the replies everyone!

Meanwhile, I have just stumbled upon a workaround.

To preface, I have to clarify/correct two things for my particular case:

1. The problem only occurs when hovering over the links in the Tasks section.
2. The jump doesn't necessarily go to the top-of-page. Rather, it goes to wherever the original landing spot was when you opened the doc. (In URL parlance this is the fragment, e.g. #//apple_ref...).

On to the workaround:

In the Xcode doc viewer (and even in Safari), there should be a "Jump To..." drop-down in the "developer-documentation" window located to the right (and as a peer) of the "table of contents" expander when this problem occurs. You only need click on it once, dismiss it, and then the jumping problem goes away!

Answer 2

I've encountered it (only when viewing the docs in Safari, not the doc viewer itself), and I believe it's a known bug fixed in Xcode 3.2 (for Snow Leopard).
