[Chimera-users] Sudden Chimera issues with OSX Mojave?

[Geoffrey Sametz]

You may already know this, but: the latest Tk (8.6.9) doesn't play well
with tkinter. Python's solution seems to have been to bundle 8.6.8 with new
installs. In my own projects I installed 8.6.8 to regain functionality.

I posted an answer to a related question on stackoverflow and included
links:
