Summary:

When showing invisibles in Xcode's source editor, the "Fonts & Colors" settings for colouring invisibles is not respected — they appear to be coloured using the "Plain Text" colour.


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Set the "Invisibles" colour in your current Xcode colour scheme to something different to the "Plain Text" colour.
2. Open a source code file in Xcode;
3. Select "Editor > Show Invisibles" if you haven't already;


Expected Results:

Any invisible characters such as spaces and tabs are rendered using the "Invisibles" colour that the user set in "Fonts & Colors".


Actual Results:

Invisible characters are rendered using the "Plain Text" colour, if at all. Spaces are shown using the wrong colour, whereas tabs are not shown at all.


Regression:

I'm honestly not sure if this has ever worked.
