Wow! Fixed! You are a genius!


I shut down the Mac (I think that it is better than restarting), yet it did not fix it.

Then I shut down again and booted in Safe Mode (Shift key while booting) and it FIXED it. Great!

Then I shut down again and booted normally and it remained FIXED. Awesome!!!


You made my day! Many thanks!
