Update to newly released 1.9.7 fixes all issues...
Thanks!
Excellent! Thanks for letting us know. Time to upgrade.
Didn't my OSX version used to let me know about new versions? I Just tried rebooting and there is no message. I'm sure there was a message telling me to upgrade to 1.9.6 ..... or maybe I dreamt that?

1.9.7 seems excellent. Loaded quicker and connected immediately. Definite recommend upgrading!!!
