Xcode files disappear from project navigator

I'm running into a strange Xcode issue where files that match my search are disappearing from the project navigator. With only 1 tab open in Xcode, I type a few letters into the search box in the project navigator. The list of files immediately filters to match my search term.

I then do nothing, and wait for 5 seconds, and Xcode refreshes and the files disappear and it displays "No Filter Results". If I add or remove a letter from the search box, the files come back for a few seconds, but then they disappear again. Is this some Xcode glitch? Or do I have to change something to get my files to stop disappearing when I do a search. I am on Xcode 7.3.1.

None of my other navigator tabs have any text in the search boxes. I also do not have the 'source control' or 'recent files' filters selected, as shown here:

Solution

  • I also have XCode 7.3.1 but cannot reproduce the behavior you are seeing. Please check following - there is filter box at the bottom, make sure that nothing there. If that does not resolve the problem check your settings in Xcode->Preferences->general->Find Navigator Details. Also try reinstalling xcode.
