Xcode is crashing very often when I edit storyboards.
I'm working with OS X El Capitan 10.11 and Xcode 7.0.1 (7A1001).
I've experienced crashes mostly when I edit view background colors and view alphas.
The only way to keep going for the moment has been saving after every edition.
It's really annoying though. Have you experience these crashes? Do you know any workaround? Thanks in advance.
EDIT
It also crashes often when editing constraints.
Here's the crash log:

EDIT 2
I was hoping that new updates would fix this issue but Xcode 7.1 (7B91b) is still crashing when editing constraints in storyboards, using OS X El Capitan 10.11.1
This seems to be fixed for me after updating:
It seems that Xcode 7.1.1 (7B1005) fixes this issue:
I have updated to this version.
I'm also using default screen resolution in my mac.
Xcode is not crashing anymore when editing storyboards.
Like I told you in the comments a cleaning of Xcode and the simulator might solve the issue. This is what i followed in the past:
You can also do this but there may be some loss. Some times it helps though:
edit: Changing the resolution of your retina to "more space" will most likely fix your issue and you will get no more storyboard crashes. Thanks @Julian Ko!
It happened to me all the time when I try to modify something in storyboard. I could conclude what is the actions I did to cause the issue. Then I change the resolution on my retina Macbook Pro from default to more space. It never comes again. I guess it changed some behaviours drawing to the screen. You might want to try it.
It proves that Apple is now the big brother we all come to hate... Head of OS engineering and QA should be let go!. EVERY single release there are problems like this one.
This is still present in xcode 7.2 & 10.11.2:
The crash still exist in the latest Xcode (7.3.1).
When you select storyboard from Project Navigator, let it finish building. Thats all.
Once it finish building, you can go to another storyboard without any crash.
