TextAttribtues reset paragraphStyle configured by InterfaceBuilder/Storyboard.

[r-plus]

Hi.

When migrate my project to TextAttributes I noticed problem and wrote patch for it that is TextAttributes reset paragraphStyle configured by storyboard even if not changed paragraphStyle parameter.

// `@IBOutlet weak var label: UILabel!` is configured to center alignment via storyboard.

// Native: label is aligned to Center.
let attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "text")
attributedString.addAttribute(NSBaselineOffsetAttributeName, value: 8, range: NSRange(location: 0, length: 4))
label.attributedText = attributedString

// TextAttributes: label is aligned to Left.
let attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "text")
let attrs = TextAttributes().baselineOffset(8)
attributedString.addAttributes(attrs)
label.attributedText = attributedString

Is this bug or feature?

My workaround patch is this, but this patch break current TextAttributes behavior.

P.S. I preferred current simply architecture. We should add .alignment(.Center) chain explicitly.

Hi @r-plus , thanks for your feedback, I really appreciate it!

The example you gave isn't the correct translation of the native snippet though:

let attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "text")
let attributes = TextAttributes().baselineOffset(8)
attributedString.addAttributes(attributes, range: NSRange(location: 0, length: 4))

Maybe the paragraphStyle configured by storyboard won't be reset if you add the attributes for a given range of the string ?

Thanks for your response.

Try to change explicitly specify range, but no effect.

I publish sample project to reproduce for this issue.

Hey @r-plus, I'm closing this issue. Let's say that TextAttributes doesn't play well with IB/Storyboard ;)
If we try to support this edge case, I bet it will be an endless task 😃

I think so too.
