Is there any update on this issue?

I see there’s been some patches in gerrit that should fix it, but they have not been committed for almost a month now

In a nutshell, you need to build with macOS SDK 10.13, as SDK 10.14 and 10.15 produce blurry results
I have confirmed SDK 10.13 work with Xcode 11 on a recent nightly build

The last working version for a majority of macOS users is 6.2.8

Blurry screens is both annoying and is an ergonomic issue, it’s not good for your eyesight

At a minimum the download page for macOS users should warn of this issue and point to 6.2.8 for users with Retina screens, people should not have to Google this known problem

There were two users on the bug report that found this issue and looked into it, that could potentially be helpful to get in contact with for further macOS work?
I’m not a developer — just been doing QA on macOS bugs from time to time :)

Best,
Eivind
