Subject: Interface Builder for Lion 4.1: how do you spot clipping errors?

Hi,

Working on Lion now. Apple changed Interface Builder 4.1 quite radically. One of things missing, or appears to be missing: how to clipping problems. Just about the only thing I do as a localizer in Interfacer Builder is just that. In Xcode 3.2.6 this used to be CMD+K.

Another thing that's missing is the visual indication on a sheet when e.g. when a label does not fit the text. This used to be a plus sign, but currently there's no indication on by default and I could not find whether or not you could activate it.

Thanks in advance

Alexander

Good point, I don't find it.

When you select a NIB file with clipped content in Xcode 4.x, the Issue
Navigator view (usually in the left column of the Xcode main window,
indicated by the exclamation triangle symbol) will list all objects with
clipped content.

When you select an object, "Editor > Size to Fit" does what you are
looking for.

This Issue Editor is always empty for me, while a glaring clipping problem staring me right in the face. CMD= still works.

The 2 clipping options in the context sensitive Navigate menu at the very bottom, when working with a xib or nib, seems to be what you're looking for at least at first glance. But without a keyboard shortcut. Is it?

If it is, here is how you can get a keyboard shortcut. Go into System Preferences/Keyboard and click on the Keyboard Shortcuts tab.

Next, go to Application Shortcuts at the bottom of the list on the left, and click to add on the + button.

Then just put the menu title in, and the shortcut you want. I put a silly shortcut in here to emphasize that it's pretty flexible (shift+cmd+option+ctrl+9), so you can put what you want in place. Here's what the menu and system preferences look like for me:

No restart is required if you get the menu in correctly

Xcode 4 really does not spot clipping error at all. In the attached screenshot you clearly see that the Dutch word for opacity "ondoorschijnendheid" does not fit. Xcode 4. does not see any clipping problem at all.

Compare that to the second screenshot of Interface Builder 3 that spots clipping problem without a hitch and you can see why I'm reverting once again to Interface Builder 3. Fixing clipping errors is the exact only thing I use Xcode for and it just does not work.

Hopefully someone who pays 99 per year and does not have a free account like me is willing to file this obvious bug in Xcode with Apple.

Regards

Alexander
