@Peugeot  
The developer took a look and could not repeat the error.  
I could the other day so reported it.  
Today, I’m unable to repeat the issue.

Can you repeat it?  
If so, please record the specific steps needed, a screenshot of the About Rhino dialog, and your macOS version number.

Thanks

I think I see it now.  
You’re running with your Rhino application Maximized, so when the new file window is created, it superimposes over the first.  
That is a bug but not as big a deal.

Try it again without Rhino maximized. It can fill most of the screen but leave enough room so a new Rhino file window can be offset from the original.

Is that different?

OK, I get it.
