Is it just me? I found this very confusing. > On Sep 26, 2019, at 8:44 AM, Laurent Daudelin via Cocoa-dev > <cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com> wrote: > > I just checked this Quincy.

The content view of the window has a different behavior and default compared to the subviews. Previously Auto Layout was enabled or disabled per nib. Now the layout mode is per view and constraints can not be fully disabled. So the existing behavior is not present in Xcode 11. IB Auto Layout or constraints was introduced around the Xcode 4.2 timeframe. An IB document could enable or disable Auto Layout with a check box in the file inspector. Looking through the historical Xcode release notes you can see it took a long time to get it working properly. This may be why some developers opted out of Auto Layout. I have a large project with with Auto Layout turned off in each nib. I opened the project in Xcode 11 and started working my way through the nib warnings and then realized I don’t know what I am doing so I stopped. --Richard Charles _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
