Open Radar

 
Summary:
Xcode loves to modify my xib files with trivial changes if I even slightly glance at them. This has been happening for four years now. 

Attached is yet another movie demonstrating the problem.
Attached is a source code control log of a single Xib file, with all of the bogus revisions just because xcode can't control its bladder.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get a slightly newer xcode than the one you have
2. Click on a xib file

Expected Results:
3. You can look at the xib file without extra work

Actual Results:
4. The xib file is modified, marked as dirty, and saved to the file system.

This means I either have to look at this and revert it every single time, or I have junk in my source control system log.  Such as this:

Version:
Version 8.0 beta (8S128d)
10.11.4 (15E65)


Notes:
It's really not that big a deal - just commit a dummy revision, but
when it happens day-in, day-out, it's just another heavy-sigh
death-of-a-thousand-cuts that makes using Xcode unpleasant.


Configuration:
happens all the time, on all machines, to hundreds and hundreds of developers.
