Thank you for your response. I have been writing code since the debut of MS-DOS and traveled through many destinations including C64 assembler, VAX Assembler, COBOL. Fortran, Visual Basic, C, C++, .NET, flavors, Perl, and various scripting languages and frameworks. I have worked in numerous compilers and IDE environments from archaic to modern for platforms ranging from microcontrollers to mainframes. I have even had the pleasure of writing to and uploading code from punch cards to a mainframe. Being "imprecise" is an unfortunate byproduct of learning a language, platform or process. If one understood the terminology better, one would be more precise, and as it were, would not likely need to ask a question such as I have in the first place. Thus, one must learn... to know. I exhausted my efforts to learn on my own, so came to where others "In the know" may be able to help. For a peer "help" community to look down upon or ignore those in need of help, because they don't know what they don't know is rather antithetical to the purpose of the community. I have stumbled upon the answer to my problem on my own. but am not sure why or how it happened in the first place. I would assume user error at some point on my part. The main view controllers on the two storyboards in question (again sorry if that is the wrong way to describe) for some reason had "Translucent Tool Bar" selected in the "Simulated Metrics" section of the Attributes Inspector for the View Controller. In the image below I have changed the value to "Translucent Black Toolbar" to further highlight what happened. I am not sure how it got turned on for the first view controller on the first storyboard, let alone the newer storyboard and associated view controller but not the others. In any case, setting them, back to "Inferred" has fixed my issue. Thank you again for your attempt to help.

Is there someplace better for community support for xcode/ios dev? I see a majority of the posts here go unanswered.

Can anybody provide some insight here?

Thank you for the response. Trying different browser for uploads... Sorry for naming issues. I am new to this IDE and Swift - rather frustrated thus far. I hope that helps - The storyboard to the lower right is to be connected to the Fermentation Calculator eventually via the navigation controller. I m not dead set (or even happy) with this layout but am, trying to learn as I go and got stuck trying to understand (among other things) is what appears to be a space or place holder above the navigation tabs on the two lower left storyboards. I do not have a toolbar or other view there.
