iOS Simulator only showing bottom left quarter of the screen

Since a few days ago, my iOS Simulator has only been showing the bottom left part of the screen, as you can see in this screen shot:

iOS Simulator

It makes no difference if I am in an App or not, it's always only the bottom left which is shown. I don't know what caused it or since when exactly I had this issue. I am on the latest OS X 10.10.2 beta seed, and the issue exists on both Xcode 6.1.1 and the latest 6.2 beta, and on the simulators 7.1, 8.1 and 8.2 beta.

Here are things I've already tried:

  • "Reset content and settings" from the iOS Simulator menu
  • Scale -> 100%, 75% and 50%, all with the same issue
  • Delete DerivedData and other Xcode caches
  • Delete all Simulator-Devices and recreate them from Xcode
  • Use resizable Simulator
  • Restart Xcode, the Simulator and my rMBP
  • Combinations of all of the above

Had the same problem with XCode8, OS8 and OS9.

Goto Window > Scale and check 100%. iPhone will become full screen again, iPhone sice however might be larger than your computer screen.
