Preview Crashes with glitched visuals

When working on my Xcode project and using Previews from time to time I find preview crashes and ens up with the image below. The UI is completely unresponsive and only way to bring it back I find is close and relaunch Xcode.

Anyone else experience this - is there a known fix or a better way to "kick" preview to restart that doesn't involve full relaunch of XCode

Hi,

Sorry to hear you are having occasional problems with previews. We believe this issue is much improved in the current Xcode 16.2 beta releases. Would you be able to try those, or install the FCS version once it is released and then report back here if you see things improved?

Great thanks for the quick reply - will give that a go.

whilst I’m on the topic - is there a way to run preview on Simulator ie not build/run full version but similar to preview on my real device, I’d love to be able to do the same with Simulator so I have a bit more freedom for window placement/sizing etc
