With Xcode 8 when debugging with a break point, I was able to move the instruction pointer with a little arrow on the left of the window in the gutter. The gutter also contained line numbers and break points and a shaded line to show code nesting (the deeper the nested code the darker the shading of the line). With Xcode 9 I see the gutter with line numbers and can add break points but the arrow to move the instruction pointer is gone, so is the line that showed the code nesting. The problem is that when I’m debugging I can’t drag the instruction pointer to a new line of code skipping or repeating lines of code.
There is something new in Xcode 9, that looks like a thumb on the right side of the line currently executing, at times I have been able to drag this to a new line, but it isn’t reliable, most of the time when I click on it and try to drag it, it just stays there… so I’m not sure how I use it. Do any of you work with Xcode 9 and have any of you seen and/or know how to move the instruction pointer when debugging? Perhaps there was a preference to hide the code nesting and this arrow in the preference, but I have looked and can’t find it. If you have any suggestions I’m happy to try.
