Can't position bar buttons on top?

I'm just trying to set up a simple storyboard. I have a View Controller embedded in a Navigation Controller, and it is the starting view for the app. I added a full-page Table View and a Table View Cell inside that.

Then I wanted to add two Bar Button Items to the top, but when I drag them in, that's where the trouble is. When I drag it onto the top bar, it creates a new bar at the bottom and attaches there instead. When I go to the Document Outline and manually drag it under Navigation Item in the View Controller, then it works and goes to the upper right.

But then there's no way for me to add a second Bar Button Item to the upper left-- when I drag one in, it goes to the bottom, and if I try dropping it under Navigation Item in the Document Outline along with the first one, it just ceases to exist, as though only one Bar Button Item were allowed.

What am I doing wrong? This has worked fine in the past.

Sometimes storyboards have bad days and xCode has bugs. Then code comes to rescue:

UIButton *button = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 30, 30)];
showCalendar.frame = CGRectMake( 0, 0, 40, 30 );
[showCalendar setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"calendar"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[showCalendar addTarget:self action:@selector(METHOD CALL) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:button];

You can repeat the process for adding another button on the left.
