Issues with 6.5 and MacOS Mavericks

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

Are there configuration work arounds for the following issues ? Configuration is the 6.5.0 version under MacOS 10.9.1

 

1. The directories in Options/directories appear to be ignored and open always dumps me in the Documents folder. It is possible that Mavericks screws up environment variables, so I tried a fully specified path with no luck. Is there an official way to make this work again ?

 

2. When adding components the mouse stops dragging the component after the add command is selected. This can be worked around by moving the window slightly and then the component tracks on the schematic or layout field correctly. This is new behavior with Mavericks, so it is likely that Apple in their wonderful competence changed something. Does a work around exist yet ?

 

Both of these are not show stoppers, but they do get annoying after awhile and probably should be looked at by whomever is doing Cadsoft's Mac support

    Hi Everyone,

     

    If anyone can reproduce or has run into the issues Matt is seeing please

    reply. I need to see if I can find something in common between any

    reported cases since this is the first report I get of something like this.

     

    Best Regards,

    Jorge Garcia

    I reported #2 months ago, within a few days of Mavericks coming out.  IF

    you Cmd-Tab to another app and then back then everything works again.  It's

    a real pain for sure.

     

    As for #1, not sure.  I use all my own directories and that works just like

    it always has.

    I was **really** hoping this was resolved in 7.0 (or 7.1) but no joy.  Can anyone tell me a status on when it will be fixed?

     

    It is hugely annoying; Mavericks has been out for a *really* long time and the next OS version will be out soon.
