Issue with UITextField's leftView property

Question

I am trying to add a single blank UIView to multiple UITextField in order to give a little padding. But my app freeze (does not crash). Can anyone tell me what the issue might be? Here is my code.

var paddingView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 10, height: 50))

It works well when I assign this view to single UITextField

 emailTextField.leftView = paddingView 
 emailTextField.leftViewMode = UITextFieldViewMode.Always

But App does not responds if I add same paddingView to another UITextField e.g

someTextField.leftView = paddingView 
someTextField.leftViewMode = UITextFieldViewMode.Always

My Environment is xCode 6.4, Swift 2.0.

So, I was having and issue with the same exact problem. My solution was to create a paddingView for each textfield.

var paddingView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 10, height: 50))
var paddingView2 = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 10, height: 50))

emailTextField.leftView = paddingView 
emailTextField.leftViewMode = UITextFieldViewMode.Always

someTextField.leftView = paddingView2
someTextField.leftViewMode = UITextFieldViewMode.Always
