Context : Xcode 9.0 (9A235)

When I try to edit my storyboard label's note for localizers (inserting Barty Crouch tag #bc-ignore!), XCode 9 crashes.

Also, trying to edit the font does nothing.

Seems like a corrupted storyboard to me, certainly after a merge.

Does anyone face the same issue ?

EDIT, non-ambiguous question :

Is there a fix to avoid the crash or do I have to edit the storyboard by hand?

Even with a brand new empty project, it craches when editing Comment For Localizer. It is an Xcode 9 issue.

As a workaround you can edit the .storyboard file manually by adding this kind of block (directly inside your <label> block for example):

<attributedString key="userComments">
    <fragment content="Here goes your comment...">
        <attributes>
            <font key="NSFont" metaFont="smallSystem"/>
            <paragraphStyle key="NSParagraphStyle" alignment="natural" lineBreakMode="wordWrapping" baseWritingDirection="natural" tighteningFactorForTruncation="0.0"/>
        </attributes>
    </fragment>
</attributedString>

  • Seems to be the only right answer, I'll edit my question to be more precise (version of Xcode). The only other solution will (hopefully) be to upgrade Xcode when an update will be available. – Pierre Mardon Oct 12 '17 at 19:35
  • What is the purpose of the font info? Leaving them out seems harmless — app still runs, XLIFF export has the comment. – Andrew Duncan Nov 10 '17 at 19:23

  1. Clean Xcode DerivedData folder.

  2. Re-run Xcode.
