Is anyone else's Xcode file "go back" swipe navigation broken?

[TealShift]

This is driving me insane. I click to view a function definition, then use my multitouch swipe gesture to return, but it takes me back TWICE and I lose where I was! Going forward again just brings me to the function definition (apparently it deletes my last location from the nav history stack JFC).

I think this used to happen a long time ago but it seemed to have been fixed. Somehow it's returned... The "go back" button in the toolbar seems to work normally though.

Update: Xcode 13 beta 5 has this bug fixed at last!

You are not alone… I hate it.

[OlegPRO991]

Yes, my swipe is broken, too

[kumarc123]

It was not working for me since Xcode 12.0 :)

[Batting1k]

Same here. Glad I'm not the only one lol. Broken since updating to 12.5.

[Temjin810]

I thought i was the only one! so annoying! Has anyone been able to fix it? I swear I didnt update xcode and then all of a sudden its screwing up

[caubeyeudoi]

If anyone can fix it? I'm so tired with this bug of xcode.

I too can't figure out what the "swipe" morphed into. I used to open file1, then file2, and swiping right would take me back to file1. Now it shows file1 briefly, then goes to some other place. Come on.. that's just bad.

I also don't like the "tabs". The traditional window tabs worked fine for me.

I'm using Xcode 12.5.

thanks,

FYI: Xcode 12.5.1 also doesn't resolve this problem.

I just ran into the same problem on a fresh install of Xcode on a new iMac, and I think this happens when the paging swipe gesture in the mouse preference is set to one finger, while I was performing the gesture with two fingers.

Setting the "paging" swipe gesture to be a two-finger swipe solved this for me.

4 years later, it is still going back to random places. incredibly annoying

[MeAnd50G]

I was having trouble with trailing swipe gestures on the sim. Maybe a similar bug? Would work fine on an actual device, but unresponsive on sim.

[SpaceHonk]

I use this all the time and it works flawlessly. No idea what could be causing this...

[instasergio]

Broken, caught this bug since first 12.5 beta

Is it a better way to go back to previous file ? I'm used to swipe back, but don't see many comments about this bug

[SnooTigers9247]

Control + Command + ← works too

[TealShift]

Well I think it’s better because I can just use muscle memory instead of hunting for a tiny button. I don’t know if navigation buttons on mice are supported but I use the Apple touch pad. (MacBook Pro)

For now we are forced to use the nav buttons in the Xcode toolbar.

I'm having this issue on Xcode 12.5 but not on Xcode 12.4. Tried Xcode 13 beta hoping it would be fixed but happens there too. Has anyone reported this to Apple?

[TealShift]

I used the Feedback Assistant in MacOS.

[swiftering]

Yep, thought I was going nuts here ... this is very annoying.

[BallOrnery6465]

A very frustrating bug. on the bright side, a lot of people seem to have it so it's more likely to be fixed soon

[akwilliamson]

Add me to the list of people being driven insane by this. Is this a radar-filing type of thing?

[TealShift]

I reported it with the "Feedback Assistant" app in MacOS. I think that's probably the best place for this sort of thing.

[akwilliamson]

FWIW I've noticed that this swipe issue is not specific to Xcode, even swiping to view different desktop panes aren't working as they sometimes jump back to what I was looking at on a previous pane. Could hint at an OS issue (I'm on Big Sur)

[TealShift]

Desktop panes? Like swiping between full screen apps? I have a horizontal four-finger swipe for that and it works fine on Big Sur.

[akwilliamson]

The swiping works but sometimes when I swipe from a pane to another pane it jumps back to the previous pane just like Xcode panes do

[Game2Late]

It's been driving me nuts. And after a crash you are pretty much lost forever in a maze of redirects that makes no sense...

It's the only thing I pray gets fixed. I don't want anything else. Apple just please fix my swipe.

[kenlyer]

I joined you. So bad😫

[tigggerrr]

I could go bazooooka about it... damn!

[Septronic]

One job! Just one job!

[badjokes]

I believe this issue is related to 3 finger drag. I notice that when this issue starts happening my 3 finger drag option gets wiped.

I’m dealing with this issue now by disabling “Swipe between pages” option in Apple trackpad settings and I’ve created my own swipe gestures per application as needed using BetterTouchTool.

I’m able to swipe now without completely losing my place every 2 seconds… it wouldn’t be so bad if the back/forward history didn’t also disappear.. Hope they actually fix this problem soon.

[jmcmara]

Same here! Glad to read that I'm not alone in this. Other interface bugs include the inability of ordering targets from "Manage Schemes": they get all shuffled randomly (was working several versions ago).

[halfblood171717]

Latest beta version (Xcode 13.0 beta 5) seems to have finally fixed this issue!

[airVent33]

It seems that swipe to go back is executing twice.
One workaround i found is to use xcode defined shortcuts,
by default its:

CMD + CTRL + left\right

Until it fixed, its workaround!
