You may want to check if you have the same issue when you start it from = the command line (emacs/nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs). If the issue is fixed when starting from CL it is similar to an issue I = had recently when launching Emacs.app directly vs launching if from the = command line: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2017-07/msg00143.html When launching from the command line you get the shell's environment = variables (including the PATH to your various commands), *NOT* when you = launch Emacs.app directly. Basically, when I run Emacs.app, I either create an alias to = emacs/nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs and launch it directly = from the command line, or I use an Applescript "launcher" (that calls = that same Emacs) that I call from Spotlight. I can send you the applescript if you want. Jean-Christophe=
