Same problem here: crashing on starting with an external display in macOS.

I did not immediatley connect the issue to the external screen and found that deleting the app and copying it again from the official disk image would temporarily fix the problem (however, strangely enough, deleting the .TeXmacs folder did not help).

Hello everyone and Tilda or Mathias A. Steiner

Since updating MacOS, I had the same problem with older versions of TeXmacs and even with version 2.1.4. TeXmacs always crashed on startup. I use a MacBook Pro with 2 other 27" external displays. If I try to start TeXmacs from external displays or by double-clicking a TeXmacs document on an external display, TeXmacs does not start and gives an error message. HOWEVER if I start Texmacs from the MacBook Pro's built-in screen or double-click a TeXmacs document from the built-in screen, everything works fine. Once TeXmacs is running and I have my documents open, I can use them on all screens. So I think the problem is not only with TeXmacs but also, a little, with how MacOS handles external displays.

Hope this could help. Greetings. Normand Beaudoin.

Dear Joris,

thank you very much for making TeXmacs 2.1.4 available. 

However, I experienced some issues when downloading TeXmacs-2.1.4.dmg  from https://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/download/macosx.en.html. 

The Texmacs.app contained therein does not run on MacOS 10.10 or later. Trying to launch the app yields an error message:  

You have macOS 10.13.6 installed on your computer. This program requires macOS 10.14.6 or later

So my questions are

• will there be a TeXmacs-2.1.4.dmg file that that actually runs on MacOS 10.10 or later, as stated on the web page?
• Does running the app contained in TeXmacs-2.1.4-os10.6.dmg on computers operating on MacOS 10.10 or later cause problems to the system?
• Could the downloading page be fixed accordingly? I suppose other users may have had or will experience similar issues, especially when trying to upgrade from within TeXmacs.

Yours sincerely

Tilda A. Steiner

Dear all,

After a long time of absence (due to a change in the team of
active maintainers of TeXmacs), we are pleased to announce
the new version 2.1.4 of TeXmacs.  The main changes are as follows:

 - Headless option for running TeXmacs as a window-less script.
 - Improved subtables.
 - Many bug fixes.
 - Progress towards side tools, experimental.
 - Progress towards markup driven graphical user interface, experimental.

Note that, for the first time, we also provide an official AppImage package under GNU/Linux.

Happy TeXmacsing, --Joris
