This issue was raised by Ken Sebesta back in November, but I can't reply directly via gmail. Message-ID: CAABTFJPpmThrrwP6pb5gZ82fb8yKteLpDcXTCQS8p_7WZ0Ne5Q at mail dot gmail dot com The main window opens fine, but any child window (say when you press 'Push') is entirely blank. I haven't been able to find any sign that work has progressed on this -- has anyone made headway?

However, all is not lost as a commenter suggests a workaround of bundling Tk with the app. Is this something which can be done for macOS git binaries?
