Summary:
Sometimes when I open a project, the little circles that show whether an IBAction or outlet is connected always draw empty, even if there's a connection.  Cleaning the build folder and running the app don't fix it.

Attached is a movie showing the problem - the circles are empty for two IBActions.  I purge and build, still empty.  Set breakpoints in the "unattached" methods.  Run the app, and stop there. Still empty. Double-check the storyboard, and they're connected.  Come back to the source file and they're now filled in correctly.

Doesn't happen all the time, but often enough where I don't trust an empty circle.

Notes:
It's really not that big a deal - just don't trust the connection-state bubble, but
when these kinds of things happen day-in, day-out, it's just another heavy-sigh
death-of-a-thousand-cuts that makes using Xcode unpleasant.
