Summary:

if I set a text color on a UILabel in interface builder in XCode 5. When later on I set the text of that label in code, the label loses the color I had set.

Steps to Reproduce:

Create a label in a viewcontroller in a xib file,

Assign a custom color to it.

In your code at some point, update the text of that label.

Expected Results:

the text should be updated to the new text while keeping the old color

Actual Results:

the text is updated but the color is reset. (I think the alignment is also reset)

Regression:

Notes:

Most likely this is because XCode 5 actually sets the attributedText property of a label instead of it's text and textColor properties.
