user about
some of the settings. When I try to add more controls (label,
button, text
field), all subsequent controls are automatically set to "mini."
I can go into the Size Inspector and set the control size back to
"regular,"
but, without any explanation of why Interface Builder is doing this,
it is
quite annoying. What is even more weird is that the Apple Human
Interface
Guidelines say: "Mixing and matching controls of different sizes in
the same
window looks strange and makes aligning those controls more
difficult." So,
does anyone know why Interface Builder would do this?
Better suited to the Xcode list, but it's doing it because you dropped
a control and set it's size to mini. From then on it'll use mini until
you choose a different size. It's a convenience thing assuming that
you're going to create several mini controls in a row.
