Multiple graphics anomalies 5.2.4 MacBook Pro

I didn't see this reported at least in the top several pages. MacBook Pro 16", Catalina 10.15.7. Working fine with 5.0.1. Installed 5.2.4 and though it opens, it is unusable: zooms cause streaks, some chart tiles zooming and some not, tracks not zooming or not matching the zoom level of charts, etc. It seems to basically function, but the graphics do not, and not at all a subtle problem.

Is this an installation issue? I simply installed it over 5.0.1.

Re: Multiple graphics anomalies 5.2.4 MacBook Pro

I guess since OpenCPN version 5.0.x and beginning with version 5.1.x and newer the published versions for macOS are broken somehow. These versions doesn't start on older Mac computers and older Mac operating system versions anymore. Affected by this problem seems to be the macOS versions of OpenCPN with the file extension *.pkg
Until it is not fixed better go back to version 5.0.1 with file extension *.dmg

Re: Multiple graphics anomalies 5.2.4 MacBook Pro

Have played with it some more, and I think gotten it to work. This is a very new Mac and nearly the latest OS (Big Sur just came out yesterday, I have the latest Catalina).

I rebooted and reset the graphics card, which seems to have fixed the zooming issues. But it also got rid of several chart libraries, though not all. Rebuilding did some good but others had to be removed and reinstalled. There are other things that seem gratuitously different, like opening the properties dialog in waypoints brings up a mini window that must be expanded to see everything, every single time it is opened. But at least I've gotten it to work a bit.
