Comment (by NeoNapster):

 I can report the same problem

 OSX Sierra, Darwin MacBook-Pro.local 16.5.0 Darwin Kernel Version 16.5.0:
 Fri Mar  3 16:52:33 PST 2017; root:xnu-3789.51.2~3/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

 Was working fine, I have no idea this seems to have happened after I
 installed Ableton Live at some point although I am unable to clarify this.
