XCode glitching out? Arghhh

So i've updated all of my computer software, and XCode, (I've even reinstalled El Capitan + XCode) but there is still this odd glitch i'm getting.

Whenever I zoom in or out within my view controller, it moves me back a little bit... which is ridiculously annoying, and makes it impossible to place things where i want them. https://gyazo.com/e7d19e6e3410b070f08c7cd4e33c670a

Also, when trying to place a label, it doesn't allow me to chose a location, and just dumps it on the left side, where it's stuck. https://gyazo.com/bea90b039d4663cc5013fef146ad6679

Anyone know what's going on? :P

Harry,

I am not seeing this. I'm running OS X 10.11.3 (15D21), XCode Version 7.2 (7C68), the latest non beta, according to my computer.

Try creating a brand new user account on your computer, in System Preferences -> Users and Groups. Log in with this new account and see if the same thing happens.

  • If you find that the issue does not happen with the brand new account, then the issue is with a setting in your current user account.
  • If you find that the issue does still happen in the new account, then you need to focus on the whole OS or the computer itself.

Let me know what you find out.

Florin

Hi Florin,

I'm also running 7.2 (7C68). I've just tried creating a new user, and the problem persists. Not sure what I should try next.

Thanks for your response!

Harry,

The next step in the troubleshooting process would be to backup all your data, then try a fresh install of the OS and fresh install of XCode, without any other software. This step will tell you if the hardware or the OS/Software is to blame. If it still happens, then the hardware is to blame. If it doesn't happen, then the software/OS is to blame.

What OS version do you have?
