xcode 8 Quick Help inspector link not working - user-interface

After upgrading to Xcode 8, i cannot use the Quick Help inspector anymore.
For example, i have a saveNewNote function in my MainViewController.swift file. If i click the function title somewhere in the code, it allows quick scrolling to that function by clicking the link in the attached image. It is very convenient if you have a large number of lines in your code.
Restart Xcode and MacBook did not help.
Is there some settings needed to be changed to be able to use this feature again?

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.

missing alignment guides in xcode interface builder

I am new to programming on the Apple Mac. I have followed a programming guide supplied in the Mac Developer Library to program a basic GUI program called TrackMix. In this program you place a textbox, a vertical slider and a button control on the view window. Initially, on dragging the specific object, say the textbox, to the window, a set of alignment guides (dotted blue lines) would automatically appear on the canvas when the object is dragged over it. I dont know what has happened, but now those guides have disappeared when I execute the same action of dragging objects to the window. When the object being dragged is over the window a small green dot, with a plus sign in it, appears on the bottom of the object. I have carefully retraced my steps to be exactly the same as stated in the Developer Library, but still the problem persist. Have I, perhaps, involuntarily changed some Xcode settings or what? I am at the end of my wits! PS: I am using Xcode 7.
You have to toggle the menu item "Editor > Canvas > Snap To Guides" in Storyboard. I hope that helps
I am not sure whether this will be helpful, but I just had the same problem and the only thing which worked was re-installing Xcode (7.3) and trashing all of the Xcode preferences.
Good luck.

Missing primary topmost Xcode6 menu toolbar (File, Edit, Navigate, etc.)

I'm using Xcode 6. For some reason the Xcode menu toolbar at the top with everything from File to Navigate and Debug is missing. I've managed without so far but would like to find out if there is an easy fix. Not sure if it was there when I first installed. Appreciate your help.
Try View > Show Toolbar to make it re-appear. If this is not the toolbar you miss, please post a screenshot of your current Xcode interface.
Before:
Okay so I solved this one. It wasn't showing as I had made the window smaller to use alongside online tutorial. When I opened it in full window mode the top toolbar was back.

I see absolutely nothing under Size Inspector in Interface Builder. I want to be able to set the Auto

I see no settings at all under Size Inspector in Interface Builder, it is completely blank for my View, all labels and all buttons. I am using xcode 4.6 and have 'Use Autolayout' unchecked and the metrics (Size, Status Bar, Top Bar, Bottom Bar) are all 'None'. I need to be able to control the autoresizingmask, but why can't I see any size properties?
Once you switch to Size Inspector tab, directly under the icon there is a little header that says "View." If you hover over that some text appears that says "Show," because apparently that section can collapse down. Clicking the header should cause the options you expect to appear.
I wish they would make this more clear, because I completely missed it as well, and restarted Xcode several times.
I ran into this problem using Xcode 5.0 but upon further investigation, discovered the dysfunction ran to a higher degree - all Inspector views in Xcode were blank for every control, and the Navigator buttons didn't work either.
The culprit seems to have been a conflict in versioning. When I re-checked out trunk, Xcode returned to expected behavior.
Resizing the Xcode window made things right again for me - go figure.
This worked for me......
Clear Menu -> Recent Files
i cleared last open storyboard from Recent files
Restart Xcode

http://i.stack.imgur.com/uwdnm.png
Something going wrong, i think.
What can i do to switch to split screen mode (assistant editor)?
P.S.: Sorry for links on images instead of real one. And for one broken link, its all about spam prevetion system and lack of reputation.
It looks like you are running Xcode 3, not Xcode 4.
You are not running XC4 in that screen shot.
