Xcode 10: Auto insert closing braces bug

In Xcode (swift file), I'm facing an issue where automatic insertion of closing brace is not working anymore.

Ex: when I write

func myFunc() {

and hit Enter, Xcode will not insert the closing brace, and I need to do it by myself (and I'm very angry about it...)

Yet, my settings seem to be good: Preferences -> Text Editing tab -> "automatically insert closing braces" == true

It seems to happen for each file containing commented code, especially this (very common) piece of comment : //}

Configuration: Xcode Version 10.0 (10A255)

Steps to reproduce on a new Playground:

  1. Copy and paste the following comment : //}
  2. Then type : func test() {
  3. Then hit enter

It definitely seems to be a bug in the text editor. Already filed with Apple bug reporter.

Can everyone reproduce the bug or is it due to some configs ? And if so, what can I do to fix it ?

Solution

  • The problem was fixed by Apple in Xcode 10.1 (10B61)
