Classification: Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:

In the Storyboard Editor of Xcode 4.2, only the primary view of a scene can be visually edited. Other top-level objects could not be edited by any other ways besides the outline editor. Please refer to the attached screenshot

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a storyboard
2. Add a view controller
3. Edit the view controller's scene
4. Add a view as the primary controller's view.
5. Add another top-level view that is not a subview of the primary view.

Expected Results:

The other top-level view can be edited similar to the primary view.

Actual Results:

There is no way to visually modify other top-level UIView objects (refer to attached screenshot).

Regression:

The regular (non-storyboard) version of the interface editor is able to edit multiple top-level view objects.
