-snip- I downloaded the latest version, 4.0.9, but when I try to open it nothing appears. The application doesn't open and doesn't work at all.
I tried both installing over the previous one, 3.3.8, and uninstalling it before installing the new one.
Is it a known bug or is it just me?
That's not a bug. macOS X 10.11 does not support Electrum 4.0.9. I'm also a macOS X 10.11.6 user. The last Electrum that can still run on this OS is version 3.3.8.
I personally use the dual OS. For the latest Electrum (4.0.9), I'm using macOS 10.15.
