Hi all,

Has anyone else experienced an Assertion failure with VMD (both v 1.9.3 and 1.9.4 alpha) on OS X 10.14?
I get the following on startup after loading a coordinate/trajectory file:

Info) Finished with coordinate file step7_nopbc.xtc.
vmd > 2018-12-13 10:02:36.048 vmd[88093:4311701] *** Assertion failure in +[NSServiceViewController currentAppIsViewService], /BuildRoot/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/ViewBridge/ViewBridge-401.1/NSViewService.m:131
2018-12-13 10:02:36.048 vmd[88093:4311701] *** Assertion failure in +[NSServiceViewController currentAppIsViewService], /BuildRoot/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/ViewBridge/ViewBridge-401.1/NSViewService.m:131

And then VMD runs for a few seconds, but eventually freezes and stops working.
All of the simple fixes such as reinstalling unfortunately did not fix the issue!

Kind regards
