Xcode static UITableView cells are blank in the storyboard

THIS QUESTION HAS BEEN RESOLVED,
CHECK OUT THE RESOLUTION AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS QUESTION IN "UPDATE #5"

I built a rather big form for my iPad application. Up until recently, I did not have any issues. However, for no valid reason (at least, none that I could think of), a big part of my table is blank. The elements are still there, they can be seen in the Document Outline pane.

When I run the application in the simulator and on my iPad, everything shows up. However, I need to modify the contents of the table (adding and editing cells) but I cannot now.

Here's what I see in Xcode:

The elements are clearly there, but I cannot access them.

When running the app, this is the screen I get:

I am working with a team on this, using Github to sync our code.

I have a small feeling that it might have something to do with a corrupt Xcode installation, but I would really like your opinion on this one.

I am running Xcode Version 7.1 (7B91b) Xcode Version 7.2 (7C68).

Thank you for your help.

Update #1 Forgot to mention I'm running OSX El Capitan 10.11.1 on a Macbook Pro mid-2014.

Update #2 I should let you know I started this project on Xcode 6 and it worked well with Xcode 7. Could this be an issue going from Xcode 7 to 7.1?

Update #3 I finally opened a bug with Apple concerning this situation. Their response was that the bug was fixed in Xcode 7.3 beta 1. I replied that it wasn't fixed, and they ended the conversation by claiming this was a duplicate of another bug. I would only hope that they fix this in 7.3, it's really getting annoying having to cycle through Xcode versions.

Update #4 Apple released the latest beta of Xcode 7.3. In the release notes, they say "UITableViewCell objects that extend below the bounds of a UITableView now draw correctly when scrolled. (23242098)". So let's see if this is the case. I will update accordingly.

Update #5 I just tested out the latest Xcode 7.3 beta, and the bug has FINALLY been fixed! Thanks to anyone who helped in this matter, truly appreciated!
