Re: frescobaldi on mac

[Robert Schmaus]

Hi robin, 

I just had the exact same problems. Solved them by going into the preference 
folder of my system and ditching all frescobaldi related prefs & plists. Some 
could not be deleted though. 

After that, no problems anymore. Of course you need to set all preferences new, 
but ....

Best, Robert
