XCode forgets active executable - reverts back to iPad simulator

Summary:

Whilst debugging an iPad/iPhone application, you can use to "Set Active Executable" to choose to run either the iPad or iPhone simulator.

However, the project doesn't appear to remember this setting. Closing the project and re-opening it causes it to default back to the iPad simulator. This is intensely annoying if you're trying to debug the iPhone layout of an application.

Steps to Reproduce:

Open iPhone project.
Choose "iPhone Simulator 4.0" from the "Set Active Executable" menu.
Run - it will launch the correct simlator.
Quit the simulated executable.
Close the project.
Re-open the project.

Expected Results:

The active executable should still be set to "iPhone Simulator 4.0"

Actual Results:

The active executable will be back to "iPad Simulator 3.2"

Regression:

It drives me crazy. Is there a work around?

Thanks

This is still happening in 3.2.4 -- and extremely annoying, I agree.
