Xcode 4.5 Tabs Disappear When App is Running

Question

Updated: It looks like whenever Xcode 4.5 is starting to run an app, the View -> Hide Tab Bar command will automatically get executed... It really looks like a bug.

The word tabs in this question refers to the one we see at the top of the Xcode IDE. Not the tab bar class in Cocoa Touch.

I'm running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 + Xcode 4.5(4G182). I found an annoying problem.

• In Xcode full screen mode, I like to open multiple tabs when I'm working on my iPhone project (1st screenshot)
• The tabs works great (just like any tabs we see in Safari or Chrome) before I upgraded to Xcode 4.5
• In Xcode 4.5 full screen mode, whenever I'm to run my apps (either on real devices or on simulator), the tabs will automatically be hidden as soon as I press the Run button or hit the keyboard shortcut (command + r) (2nd screenshot)
• If I'm working in non-full-screen mode, there will be no such problem.

Any idea why? How can I fix this?

Good news, the latest update, Version 4.5.1 (4G1004) fixed this bug. :)
