The window to show 'Simulators and Devices' does not show all relevant information about Simulator Devices. On top of the right window-pane the information about OS Version, name, etc is some kind cut off…strangely blurred > effect not readable/visible. Also the toggle is not clearly visible (but with good guess it is selectable).

Appearance mode (light or dark) has no influence. Reduce Transparency or increase contrast also no effect.

Got this issue since Xcode 26.0 (24198.5) (Build 17A5295f), and now in latest B7 still got this issue.

Running macOS Tahoe 26.0 Beta (25A5349a)

Does anybody else experience the same issue? Any workaround or fix known?

No problem for me testing on ß7:

Even if dark mode, but much less readable:

SOLVED … by myself.

Resolution is as follows:

  1. In the Device and Simulator Windows (where currently my right-pane top-area is blurred), click context/right-click like with intention to customize toolbar.

  2. Then the pop-up for toolbar-customizing like icon-only, icon and text , text-only appears.

  3. Choose something other than icon and text (‘Icon and Text’ will blur the top-part!!!).

  4. e. g. with Icon only setting —> all looks fine as expected.

So, Apple, please fix this, other users will also trap into this.

Completion: Do not set Toolbar to ‘Icon and Text’

ps. I don’t know how this initially happened to me. No clue.
