[OS X TeX] weird behavior

Wed Jul 20 11:27:36 EDT 2016

I just recently (last few days) updated my TeXShop to version 3.65 and the first time I tried to use it I am getting the following very strange behavior—it sounds like an OS X problem, but it only started after the TexShop change, so I am going here first.

I have a TeX source file which I want to copy and modify.  I duplicate it via command-D.  The icon next to the copy turns from a tex source icon to a word document icon—the listing in finder still says it is a tex document, but when I try to open it I get a message saying that I need to be signed in to Communicator to view a contact list, and I get a box to sign in to Communicator.  For context, I have used word, but never communicator, in the past.

I just checked, and it is not the copy that is the problem.  If I try to open the original tex file I get the same error message.

Any suggestions?
