Problems with LyX on Mac computers

[mark salmon]

Marcus in your reply to Ed Burmeister you said there are 2 installers 
for Lyx 2.3.7- for macs- one for old and one for new versions of MacOS 
.....I don't think I saw this when installing 2.3.7 I just chose the one 
option I saw in front of me- could this be the source of the graphics 
problem?
Cheers,
Mark
