I had a break from Xcode a few months ago, now when I try to open Xcode the icon appears in my dock then disappears almost instantaneously. I then get this message:
The application Xcode quit unexpectedly
Mac OS X and other applications are not affected… etc.
Does anyone have any advice on what I should do?
Thanks in advance!

… and I now have a brand new iMacG5 and the same awful behavior.
I sure would like others to chime in on this problem … it’s crunch time.

Have you tried reinstalling XCode from your OS disc (or downloading the current version’s disc image from the Apple site if it’s different)? I had weird crashing problems a while back with XCode 2.5 and a reinstall of the developers tools fixed it.
If you haven’t done that yet, it would be a relatively easy step to try.

I did try reinstalling it- didn’t work.
HOWEVER my computer (quite a while back now) went crazy and corrupted it’s hard drive, luckily I had a backup from a few hours before. After getting a new hard drive and reinstalling everything (including Xcode) it seems to work now. Wierd. Though the fact that it’s a new hard drive might be a good reason 
Anyway, thanks for your help!

My iMac G5 is brand-new (4 gig DRAM and 500 gig HD), so the hard drive is not the problem.
I did re-install XCode 3.0 from my Leopard CD and the AppleScript Studio problems went away … however, my Cocoa apps did not behave correctly when re-built (I suspect because the hidden libraries are different).
I then applied the 3.1 update … I re-built my Cocoa apps and their behavior became correct … but my AppleScript Studio problems (editor problems and crashing) definitely re-appeared.
Matt Boy - I see you are using Tiger and
Sendura - you are using Leopard, but I don’t know if it’s an Intel box
Me - Leopard and an Intel box
Could these dissimilarities be the real source of the problem?
I just this second was trying to recall if I was using 3.1 with my previous non-Intel box (had Leopard) … and the answer is that I did use 3.1 and Studio crashed alot … so PPC versus Intel apparently is not the difference.
My gut says XCode 3.1, in particular the Editor, is the problem … once again I do hope others chime in.
Thanks in advance.

Please check out this link that I just this second found:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/applescript-studio/2008/Aug/msg00002.html
… and I just confirmed what this link stipulates … nothing to do with length:
end script
on – crash after the space following “on”
