Any Ideas?

It's fixed in the git repo (see 6b46102 and #8121 (comment)), you can use it or wait for the next release.

Thanks for the report.

I see that on another Machine (also OS X 10.11) it works.

could this be possible?

On the machine which has the Problem i can say that it works with the 6b46102 and #8121 :)
