Xcode doesn't display comments to ObjC constants in the Quick Help inspector

Classification:Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary: When there's a doc-comment for a constant in Objective-C code, Xcode is capable of showing a comment in the autocomplete box, but not in the Quick Help Inspector on the right. See the screenshot attached.


Steps to Reproduce:
Take this code sample:

/**
 *  This is a comment to TTTest;
 */
static NSString * const TTTest = @"test";
@interface TestClass : NSObject
@end
@implementation TestClass
- (void)testMethod {
    TTTest; // <----- this line
}
@end

Move cursor to "TTTest; // <----- this line". See Quick Help Inspector on the right.

Expected Results:
Quick Help inspector shows the "This is a comment to TTTest;" comment. 

Actual Results:
It shows "No Quick Help". It used to work in the past, but then it broke down.
Also, you can start typing "TTTest", and you'll be able to see "This is a comment to TTTest;" at the bottom of the autocomplete box, so it's correctly recognized as a doc comment, it's just not displayed by the Quick Help pane.

Version/Build:
Xcode Version 9.2 (9C40b)

Configuration:
macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 (17C205)
