Classification:UI/Usability Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
In Xcode 3 the pattern "// MARK: -" solely added a separator to the list of declaration/definition items. In Xcode 4 it also adds a separator, but an *empty* "MARK:" entry is displayed on top of it.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new Xcode project
2. Select a source file
3. Place "// MARK: -" anywhere inside the file.
4. Open the item list.

Expected Results:
A separator is displayed and nothing else.

Actual Results:
A separator is displayed with an empty mark on top of it.

Regression:
n/a

Notes:
n/a

Comments

#pragma only works in sources processed by the C/C++ pre-processor. How would you use it in a Perl, Python, Ruby or Bash script, how would you use it in Swift? "MARK:" in comments works with all languages! Well, except for the bug above.
