[Chimera-users] Latest nightly broken on Mac (10.15.7)

[Oliver Clarke]

Hi Tom,

It is indeed a preferences issue - when I move the preferences file, the behavior goes away, when I move it back, it breaks again. I quite like and want to keep my preferences though. Now just need to figure out which one is causing the issue! Preferences file attached here for reference.

Cheers
Oli
