Re: [Chimera-users] Sudden Chimera issues with OSX Mojave?

      That's extremely useful Geoff, thank you - did not know about this!

I might give this a go to see if it has any effect on our systems.  Will 
report back if I go ahead (I'm just about managing with the daily build 
at present, though it has now crashed on me a few times...).

Many thanks,

Neil

You may already know this, but: the latest Tk (8.6.9) doesn't play 
well with tkinter. Python's solution seems to have been to bundle 
8.6.8 with new installs. In my own projects I installed 8.6.8 to 
regain functionality.
I posted an answer to a related question on stackoverflow and included

Hi Neil,
            I don?t know why your systems would have started having
    problems in the last 48 hours.  Nonetheless, I suggest you try
    using the daily build instead of the production release.  The
    daily build uses a newer version of the Tk windowing toolkit that
    Chimera relies on to draw windows, handle scrolling, etc. and that
    newer version in particular has some fixes for bad scrolling
    behavior.  If the daily build fails to remedy the problem, try
    using Chimera?s Help?Report a Bug to make a bug report.  The bug
    report will include many details of your hardware and software
    setup that will help us investigate the problem.
