[ANN] Release 9.6.2 RC-3

Tue Mar 16 05:12:27 EDT 2021

That nonsense about extra monitors seems to be a MacOS 11 "thing".

I generally have 2 powered USB hubs connected via my USB-C to HDMI 
monitor things: if they are connected when I start up
no video signal is sent to either my right or my left monitor, only to 
the central one. If, having started up like that, I
unplug those 2 hubs, count to 10, and then reconnect them, I get video 
signals to all 3 monitors.

Totally Mental!

Best, Richmond.

But, I tried to unplug my second monitor… Started LC and then, everything worked! Plugged the monitor back again, end now, it works! Now I can even click the buttons in the ”Save before closing”-dialog that is tucked to the menu bar. I have not been able to do that before!
