Not unless the upgrade includes a driver upgrade for the graphics hardware to one of the white-listed graphics drivers. I know this because my Mac with 10.11 complained, but it didn't exhibit the buggy behavior, so I added it's hardware to the white list. Ken, could we test for the Apple bug dynamically in VTK or in ParaView in any easy way?
