Summary: When the Xcode project window is in full-screen mode, opening the documentation (help) viewer causes it to also open into its own full-screen space. This is an irritating pain in the ass. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a project; 2. make the project window full screen; 3. invoke the documentation viewer (cmd-option-?). Expected Results: Documentation viewer opens in a window in the current space. Actual Results: The slow and tedious "full screen animation" is displayed as the user waits for the documentation viewer to become available, and then it is shown in its own full-screen space. An extra step (exit full screen) is required to restore it to a regular window. Regression: I believe this began happening in a version of Xcode 4.x as well. Notes: On subsequent invocations of the doc viewer (once manually removed from full-screen mode), the regular-window state is respected. If I want a window to occupy a full-screen space, I will ask it to. Otherwise, it shouldn't. The bug does not manifest if the current project window is not already full-screen.
