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. Steps to Reproduce: Expected Results: Actual Results: Version: Version 8.0 beta 2 (8S162m) 10.11.5 (15F34) 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.
