Double clicking the text field for a search path in Xcode 5 brings up what seems to be an editor but it contains no apparent way of saving what has been changed. See the screen shot.
It has a little pointy hat that isn't shown as well.
If I move the box towards or away from the text field it represents it disappears and the changes disappear too. What the hell is this and what am I doing wrong?
You don't have to explicitly save it. Just click the + button, enter a path, then click anywhere outside of the popover to close and save it.

I have no idea what happened but when I woke up this morning to start working, my selection + middle mouse button no longer pastes the selection.
This has always worked prior to today and the only thing I changed was added a time stamp in my C/Program Files/Git/etc/profile.d/git-prompt.sh. Unfortunately I did not check if the paste was working prior to this change, but I've since reverted it, thinking it might be the cause. Still nothing.
If I enable paste on the right mouse button from the options window, it works. Still, middle mouse click does nothing even though it is enabled and selected. See the screenshot
Any idea what may have happened or what I need to change to get the behavior to return? I can deal with the right click pasting, but muscle memory and working in Linux has me conditioned to use the middle mouse wheel click, so I will begrudgingly.
There are lots of "How to enable selection paste in Git Bash" I've found, but they all point to updating the options like shown in the screenshot and are not one bit helpful. Please do not mark this as a duplicate.
Thank you.
I am unable to perform multi-file text search and replace (in Visual Studio).
In the past, when I opened the "Replace in Files" dialog, there were 4 buttons in the lower right. One of the bottom two buttons allowed me to "Replace All".
The two lower buttons (including "Replace All") are no longer present.
I believe this occurred after I changed some Windows settings so that I could use menus without the Magnifier.
It is not just a matter of the buttons being off-screen because the window is too large (although it is too large - they would be off-screen, if they were present).
I can drag the window and see the bottom, even though the top is then off-screen (I use AltWindowDrag, allowing me to hold the ALT key, and drag by any part of the window, not just the title bar).
The two lower buttons are not present. I'm unable to resize the window - when I try, nothing happens, or the window repositions so that I can see the title bar, but can no longer see the bottom.
The two buttons that are still present (Find Next and Replace) don't have keyboard shortcuts, so I presume that Replace All doesn't either. Nor can I select either of those two buttons using Tab, so probably can't select an "invisible" "Replace All" button that way.
Any help appreciated.
You can use Find and Replace by pressing Ctrl+H and to Replace All just use Alt+A.
Does anyone know (a) why this is happening and (b) better still, how I can fix it.
When I right-click a folder in the sidebar and select "New File" the dialog that shows the textbook to enter a new file name is partially hidden behind the status bar.
I have tried toggling off the status bar, but then the new file dialog just shifts down even lower.
You can simply resize vertically the panel by dragging it.
I'm using Xcode 4.6. In a window I keep getting this "view is clipping its content" error and when I click on it, the XIB editor highlights a label. What is this error trying to tell me and how to I fix it?
First, clicking on the text "View is clipping..." will select the control that has the issue. it happens when you resize a text field too small for the inner text field cell to fit in. enlarging the control makes warning disappear. you can also select the inner cell and go to size inspector to see if there are options to make it smaller to match your desired overall size.
You have a carriage return / newline at the end of the text in your label. That empty line is part of the "content" which is larger than the "view". Get rid of your extra newline and you'll take care of this.
It's telling you that your constraints hasn't been set up correctly. You can resolve the by clicking on the view in question, then clicking on the small icon at the bottom and choose: "Reset to suggested constraints"
Or you could click on the little small orange (or red) arrow in your Document Outline (the list to the left of your view that shows all views), then click on Resolve Issue
I ask if there is any way to scroll beyond the last line in xcode, because I always end up pressing a lot of enters to the end of my files, so that I don't have to always type my code at the bottom of my window.
I have skimmed through the properties panel of XCode, and had a look at this forum. So far the answer looks negative, but I kept my hopes up. :)
Any ideas for tricking XCode to scroll beyond the last line? (I have XCode 4.5.2)
There is now a plugin for that !
Have a look at SCXcodeEditorInset !
Dont think there is a way to do this but if you are trying to edit the buttom of the code while having it near the top of your display, you can click the middle view button in xcode to bring up the console/watcher and then drag that up to the desirable spot. This does decrease the overall space of your editor but can sometimes be useful if you prefer this or just need to do that temporarily
What I do is, When you finished typing at the bottom, before you go to top, type some unnecessary code "asdf" as error then go where you want. you can come back clicking on top right red error panel.
