Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of Scrivener 2.8.

What's new in this version:

- Fixed bug whereby .svg files would not be output for MultiMarkdown → HTML, only for other MultiMarkdown outputs
- Fixed bug whereby certain images could cause a hang when loading text (if the images were embedded in an object inside the RTF)
- Fixed bug whereby images at the top of a section could cause page breaks not to be inserted properly during Compile
- Worked around Apple bug exacerbated by El Capitan whereby certain fonts would cause the line spacing in comments and footnotes to change when edited, which meant that in some circumstances the last line of a comment wasn’t visible unless being edited
- Scrivener no longer tries to restore full screen mode on relaunching, to avoid a crashing issue that was introduced in an El Capitan update and is affecting some users
- Miscellaneous bug fixes
