When I try to edit a storyboard file in Xcode (Version 5.1.1 (5B1008) under OS X 10.9.3) I can only see the vertical scrollbar. Moving around in the horizontal direction between view controllers is not possible. The horizontal bar doesn't show when I hover over it. It only briefly shows when I select past the visible area but it immediately disappears afterwards and I can only scroll by a few pixels at a time this way.
I have tried restarting XCode and the OS but it didn't help. Scrolling was possible before. It stopped working for no apparent reason this morning. I have not updated XCode nor OS X or messed with the system in any way since it was last working. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Do I need to reinstall XCode at this point?
Press Shift + Scroll Mouse this will scroll preview in horizontal
It's a not bug, it's a feature. It wouldn't be a problem if you use the Apple mouse. There is a workaround for a typical 2/3 button mouse, although it would affect all horizontal bars across the system. Just follow System Preferences->General->Show scroll bars, and select Always.
I have been struggling with this as well. The only solution I found is the following:
So there is a mini map for the storyboard that hovers over the right upper-side.
If you can't see it, just click on the "Adjust Editor Options" button and make sure Minimap is selected.
This is the best way to move around just like you are using the scroll bars.

Zooming in/out on a macOS storyboard in Xcode does not seem to be possible:
Editor -> Zoom menu is greyed out
No + or - buttons on storyboard
I want to zoom out of the storyboards to see more of a view controller, as I can only see a portion.
Edit:
This is Xcode 9.4.1
Screenshot of Main.storyboard:

Zoom Menu:Zoom menu greyed out
Thanks in advance!😉
You can't (in macOS app projects).
You could change the zoom level by:
keep pushing the option button.
and then scroll the mouse wheel.
The benefit that you will get by following this approach is that you would be able to change the level with the desired percentage, instead of being sticked with the provided zoom percentages by clicking the +/- buttons.
Is there a scrollbar to allow horizontal/vertical scrolling in the Assistant Editor preview in Xcode 6?
I know you can zoom in and zoom out but when zoomed out you can only view no more than one device at a time.
As i know theres no scroll bar
Horizontal srcolling:
but you can try
horizontal scrolling:
(shift + scrollMouseWheel up\downslide)
Vertical scrolling:
(scrollMouseWheel up\downslide)
Set active window on preview. (tested on Xcode 6.3)
Not sure about the scrolling, but if you want to view multiple devices in preview best way is to open preview up in a separate window, works very nicely and beats running on your project on 3 different simulators evertime you make a change....see a great tutorial here
I installed the latest Xcode and Yosemite betas several days ago and have noticed a feature of Yosemite seems to be its not possible (by design or bug?) to click on a a scroll bar and drag.
This was an irritation but now I'm trying to navigate within a storyboard and there's no apparent way of moving around - there's no navigation bars, there's no arrows, pressing arrows on a MacBook keyboard does nothing, its not possible to click within the story board and move it around, there's no zoom/de-zoom button to expand/collape the Storyboard.
I've been scratching my head then getting increasingly irritated, I just can't see any way of repositioning a storyboard with Xcode and thus I can't do a thing at the moment - there are view controllers in my Storyboard not displayed on screen and I just can't get to them!
Moving around the Storyboard works the same way that it has always worked: drag with two fingers on the trackpad or click and drag the scroll bars.
If neither of those are working for you, it's a bug and you need to report it. Also consider reinstalling Yosemite and/or Xcode because I am unable to reproduce this issue.
Occasionally when I scroll horizontally in an app using the magic mouse, the current tab or page I'm scrolling on freezes and thereon in that app, scrolling is completely non-functional.
For example, if I'm using Safari and I scroll horizontally to go back to the previous link, the current tab freezes, stuck in the middle of the animation. If I close the frozen tab, the other tabs work fine, but I can't scroll vertically or horizontally in them. I have to scroll using the scrollbar. No other apps are affected and if I restart the affected application, everything goes back to normal and the mouse scrolling is functional again.
Has anybody else had this issue? Any ideas on how to fix this?
I was running Lion when this issue started. I updated to Mavericks hoping it would be fixed, but no luck. I'm currently running Mavericks GM on an iMac (latest model).
This is an issue after installing Mavericks. Go to System Preferences/General and click on Show scroll bars: Check "Always". Hope this helps.
First, the links are to screen shots of my "problem". Stackoverflow would not let me post images b/c I don't have at least a 10 reputation.
I am not sure what I did.
Shut down my computer, I think there was an OS X update pending that installed. When I went back to my Xcode project it presented the normal screen

But then when I went to open it up the following screen w/o the editor or any of the normal layout opened up.

I tried tinkering with the layout and view screens, but no real help. Not sure what happened. Any help would be most appreciated. Basically, it seems like I am missing the editor and utilities panes.
Thanks,
You see that little button with the left arrow and two vertical lines at the right upper end of the "Groups and files" view? Click and drag it left, see it this can help.
