they do strange things. I've seen all sorts of odd behavior in
Composer that mysteriously goes away as they get closer to GM on
the new version of OS X. Unfortunately, there's really nothing I
can do about this until Apple works out the kinks on their end.
Part of the price you pay for being a beta tester for them --
random apps don't work, and usually in fairly inexplicable ways.
Also the reason I don't upgrade at all until closer to their
release date, and I don't update my main machine until it's fully
ready. I got tired of the headaches, though it was fun being able
to try out all the new features.</p>
<p>The thing to remember is that Composer uses basic apple widgets
(e.g. NSTextView), but uses almost all of the customization options
they offer). The more esoteric options tend to be the things that
get fixed later on in the beta process, based on what I've seen
before. An application that uses only the NSTextView basics (e.g.
TextEdit), is likely to work fairly well throughout the OS beta
cycle.</p>
<p>As for scroll bars specifically, I'm not sure if Sierra changes
the GUI options for scrollbars -- you may wish to check the System
Preferences there and try changing them to see if that fixes
things.</p>
<p>The exception to this is a <em>new</em> feature in OS X that
will require specific changes to Composer to support. I can start
on those.</p>
<p>In either case, I recommend that just about all Composer users
upgrade to the v3 beta. Not sure whether it works any more fluidly
with Sierra or not though.</p>
<p>Please feel free to write back any follow-up questions/specifics
-- I can't offer much help until I upgrade myself.</p></div>Fletchertag:support.multimarkdown.com,2013-02-12:Comment/404413852016-08-14T15:47:01Z2016-08-14T15:47:01ZComposer (App Store version) functional in Sierra?<div><p>Thanks, Fletcher. I didn't expect a fix (beta, as you note), but
wanted to<br>
make sure you were aware of the problem.</p>
<p>I'd like to sign up for the beta. However, I'm having problems
signing up<br>
for the mail list - all my attempts to use the Mailing List

page ne the error "Too many subscribe<br>

Is there a link I can visit to get the beta?</p>

<p>sorry to bug you, but I'm having no success getting the 3.0b45
beta to work on Sierra. I consistently get an error dialog telling
me to "Move “MultiMarkdown Composer (Non-Sandboxed)” to
the Applications folder, and try again" (screenshot attached);
however MMC is already in /Applications. I have also tried renaming
MultiMarkdown Composer (Non-Sandboxed) to simply MultiMarkdown
Composer, but got the same result.</p>
<p>Any guidance?</p></div>dmlounsburytag:support.multimarkdown.com,2013-02-12:Comment/404413852016-08-30T22:21:20Z2016-08-30T22:21:20ZComposer (App Store version) functional in Sierra?<div><p>If you install a new OS, App Store applications may think it's a
new<br>
machine.</p>
<p>Since Composer is sold through the App Store, you have to
redownload the<br>
App Store version and run it once to make sure it works.</p>
<p>Then you can re-run the Non-Sandboxed version.</p>

<p>Also, be sure to check Console to see if there are any telling
error<br>
messages.</p>
<p>Let me know if that doesn't work.</p>

<p>PS> Sierra is still in beta -- there may be issues as Apple
works out<br>
the kinks (this happened with the last few releases as well.)</p></div>Fletcher
