In Xcode 26.0 beta 3 (17A5276g), clicking the current branch (e.g. "main") in the Source Control navigator no longer displays the commit history. Instead, the editor area remains stuck on the previously viewed file.

REPRO STEPS

Create a new iOS Swift UI app.
Name it "Test" and check the Create Git repository on my Mac checkbox.
In the Navigator select Source Control navigator.
In Source Control, select Repositories.
Expand "Test" then "Branches" the select "main (current)"

CURRENT RESULTS

The main view remains on the ContentView.swift file.

EXPECTED RESULTS

The main view changes to show the commit history.

Hi

Thanks for submitting the FB.

Confirm here.

Some kind of workaround fixed that for me:

Via Project-Navigator select a source file and via the option-command-2-inspector-pane enable 'show history inspector'-pane. Once you see the commit info for this specific file, you can switch with command-2 to the source control navigator. Now every commit in the repo-history should be shown as before. This procedure did the trick for me.

Up to now looks quite persistent (after quitting Xcode, reboot, relogin, etc.) everything is fine.

update playing around with enabling code-review in editor seems also work and switching on the repo-commit-history list. have to correct: not really persistent fix. looks like it disappeared again. Oh, what a mess with Xcode B3.

(Hope you) Have fun!
