Have you tried to contact Massimiliano Gubinelli, TeXniscope's  
developer, at mgubi at mac.com? He's no longer subscribed to this list.

Here's what Massimiliano wrote me off-list when forwarded Philipp  
Mathey's original message:

Regarding LaTeX's Equation Editor:

LaTeX Equation Editor hasn't been updated for a long time. Actually  
his developer lost interest and stopped development when the ability  
to copy and paste equation from the PDF output was added to TeXShop.

It's hence no wonder that LaTeX Equation Editor experiences problems  
with Leopard. The two original LaTeX-based OS X equation editors,  
namely Equation Service and LaTeX Equation Editor, have been  
superseded by LaTeXiT which is actively developed.

Hope this helps,
