I have the same issue. Switching Normal to NewNormal did nothing. Have
now installed all upgrades. Cannot figure out what tilda/library etc
is or where is can be found. Found two Library folders with cap L, but
neither contained Microsoft folders. "Find" did not find the listed
files. Does it have something to do with Terminal? Not sure what
repaired disk permissions is, but I have version 10.2.8 of the OS.

Thanks.
