The buttons work perfectly, it's just they are not sizing according to their content. Any ideas what's going wrong?
Here's the attributes I have set:
You could try explicitly setting the width of each of the segmented control's components. Click the Size tab at the top of the inspector and set the width for each component.
I experienced the same issue once. The problem was that the UINavigationController's view was not the top-level view in the hierarchy (it was not added to UIWindow directly), but it was added as a subview to another view controller's view instead.
