Summary: I often have multiple Xcode windows open when I am developing. I often hide the side bars and the Toolbar to have more space to look at code. Sometimes I have 1 window with a Toolbar open, and one or more without their Toolbar open. If I close the only window with a Toolbar open, it closes all the windows in that project/workspace. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Xcode Version 6.2 (6C121) (but its been going on for a while) 2. Open some workspace 3. Command+Shift+T to open up a new window 4. Make sure one window has the Toolbar showing, and one doesn't 5. Close the window with the Toolbar showing 6. Watch in despair as your other, innocent window is also horribly killed Expected Results: I would hope that only the window I meant to close would close. Actual Results: All the windows are closed http://i2.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/facebook/000/006/199/x-all-the-y.png Version: Xcode Version 6.2 (6C121) Mac OS X 10.9.5 Build 13F34 Macbook Pro Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014 Notes: This is probably some convenience feature that someone thought was a good idea; but I don't really like it. Xcode is pretty cluttered as it is, so I try to keep things as minimal as possible, and often forget that I will close everything by closing one rogue window.

Engineering has provided the following feedback regarding this issue:
The previous implementation caused much confusion because people would reopen a workspace and not understand why they didn’t have a toolbar, because the last window they closed was opened by double-clicking a file.
Please note that if no windows have toolbars at all, the behavior remains constant. You can easily set a Behavior to hide (or show) the toolbar concurrent with many common operations.
If there are other heuristics we should consider, please let us know.
