Xcode's UI control border width bug - xcode

Sometimes I'm experiencing weird bug in Xcode. Some of UI controls gets ridiculously thick border which makes them really hard to read.
For example color picker.
I don't know what triggers this behaviour. After restarting Xcode it's normal again.
Do you know how to fix it? I'm running Xcode 9.1

You answered your own question. Just restart Xcode and the issue will be fixed.
It's an Xcode bug. If you want, you can file a bug with Apple to let them know it's an issue.

Xcode [8] Editor scrolls on its own?

EnvironmentXcode 8MacOS 10.11.6MacBook Air (circa 2013)
ProblemI've noticed recently that the Editor in Xcode seems to periodically scroll-up on its own. Which I, at least, find very annoying.
I've looked at a couple of other postings:
Xcode scrolls text while typing
XCode auto-scroll when pressing Command after a text selectionBut neither of them seem to provide a solution for me, as I'm not pressing the Command key and I'm not using multiple fingers on the touch-pad.
It seems to happen most frequently when I'm working on code near the bottom of the file, I haven't been able to narrow down the cause-and-effect scenario more than that just yet.
Query
Has anyone else noticed this?
Has anyone figured out a way to stop it?
Is there a reasonable way to report this to Apple? There doesn't seem to be an Xcode section on the http://www.apple.com/feedback/ site.
Try to disable your XCode theme if you have one. We ended up with that bug by doing this trick!
For XCode 10.1 changing the font size to 12 for the selected theme did the trick.

What kind of progress bar is this and why does it disappear?

I see this weird progress bar in AppStore on Yosemite, which keeps disappearing all the time. When you switch tabs, it is there for some seconds, then gone again.
Out of interest, I tried to figure out, what kind of bar it is and why that is happening, but can't find anything similar on google images.
In IB there is only the NSProgressIndicator, looks different and cannot configure it to look like the AppStore bars, so I guess they are using sth else?
The disappearing effect is happening on all Yosemite devices I know .. saw it happen both in the Mac AppStore and in the XCode->Preferences->Downloads screens.
Not sure anymore about iOS, but thought I saw it there too.
Any idea what element it is and what the folks at apple might be doing wrong?
I moused over it with the Accessibility Inspector, and it appears to be a Web view. So that progress bar is probably styled in HTML and CSS, and is not a native control.
A download bar because you are downloading.

Disable snap-back when scrolling in Interface Builder (Xcode 5)

I'm not sure if this is a feature or a bug (it feels like a bug), but ever since I upgraded to Xcode 5, whenever I scroll all the way to the right of my storyboard canvas area, the view snaps back to the start (or far left).
I have googled this but to know avail. I wondered if anyone else is experiencing this issue, and if so, how do you deal with it. In other words, I'm looking to disable it, or some kind of a workaround.
Update Xcode to Version 5.1.1 and the issue is resolved.

iOS simulator not displaying labels from storyboard

iPhone simulator is not showing some of the labels properly. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know how to fix it? I also noticed that if I drag the buttons too quickly, xcode would crash randomly...
Thanks
I have come across this issue recently and it was a weird bug. For whatever reason, the x/y axis was off in what I was seeing in Storyboard. So the UILabel and UITextfield I had were being displayed behind my NavigaionBar. I adjusted the x/y values in the size inspector on the right side pane of Xcode and it worked perfectly. Those value should be an accurate representation of the placement of storyboard objects.
Not sure about the quick dragging, sounds like an Xcode issue that may be fixed by now.

Can you adjust text weight in TextMate?

Please help me, because unless I'm losing my mind. My text in TextMate suddenly looks a lot lighter than it should.
Screenshot: http://cl.ly/5kVW
I fired up TextMate yesterday and I noticed that suddenly the text was a little hard to read. So I ran to TextMate preferences to see if I had accidentally un-bolded all text. But I can only find it on a per-theme-basis. Text looks light to me across all themes.
I even looked through the TextMate manual but I can't seem to find anything.
Am I losing my mind?
Found screenshot of what it should look like with this same theme: http://www.monokai.nl/blog/wp-content/asdev/monokaiTheme.gif
I've been seeing the same thing lately. I haven't been able to determine the cause or reliably reproduce the bug, but perhaps it is related to the most recent update (I'm using the "cutting-edge" build 1631). I believe I began seeing the issue after the update (mid-March).
Sometimes restarting TextMate has fixed it. Sometimes I cleared the font cache, too.
As Allan noted in the ticket I filed, this is due to a bug in OS 10.6 with third-party external LCD panels:
In that case the problem is likely with the automatic selection of font smoothing (based on display), see http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20090828224632809 for more details and potential workaround.
The reason restarting TextMate sometimes worked for me (and you, apparently), is because we restarted it without the external monitor attached. Running the defaults command in that Mac OS X Hints article fixes it properly.
defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 2
Textmate disables Apple's particular flavor of font-smoothing with dark themes running on retina displays. If you want to opt-in to the Apple version, change Textmate's settings in the terminal with:
defaults write com.macromates.TextMate.preview fontSmoothing 1
