xcode storyboard: no resize handles on text field

Hi,

I'm going through the "Start Developing iOS Apps Today" tutorial (https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/referencelibrary/GettingStarted/RoadMapi OS/index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP4001…. My first time through I didn't have this problem but now I do and can't find any info on why or how to resolve.

When I drag a text field from the object library tot he storyboard, there are no resize handles on it. I created a Jing screencast and uploaded it here: http://screencast.com/t/tmZYug3yx

I have uninstalled/reinstalled xcode and rebooted my machine. I've tried control-click, option-click and cmd-click but I can't get resize handles to appear and can't find any other way to resize the object. Nor can I find any option that might control whether or not resize handles should display.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks,

Ty Hallsted

I don't know why you can't resize the text field when you select it, but you can resize the text field from the size inspector. In your screencast if you look at the right side of the window, you'll see a series of buttons at the top. Click the button that looks like a ruler to open the size inspector or choose View > Utilities > Show Size Inspector in Xcode.
