How can I see the full error or warning in Xcode?

No matter how large I make the window, this is all I can see of warnings:

How can I see the full text of the warning at the place it appears?

I could hover the mouse over the warning as it appears in the left pane and, after waiting long enough, a tooltip appears with the full text, but I find this very awkward... Is this the only way?

The Issue Navigator is a compact representation. If you really want all the details, you can view the build transcript:

  • cmd+7
  • click on the top-most "Build $APP" section.
  • locate the warning or error
  • click the buttons on the right to see the full details of the step you are interested in

Double clicking on a message will then reveal the source location in the editor.
