P: 2nd Monitor image dullness after migrating to MacOS 10.11 El Capitan (profile issue)

I realize the following problem with Lightroom V6.1.1 after migrating my MacBook Pro to Mac OS-X El Capitan:
MacBook Pro Retina is the Main Monitor and NEC MultiSync PA271W is the 2nd Monitor.
Both Monitors are calibrated using Xrite i1 Profiler and I verified that the correct ICC-Profiles are associated with the Monitors (Mac OS-X System Configuration space).
In the Library Module everything is fine, but when I switch to the Development Module, the image on the 2nd Monitor gets dull after some seconds. Stepping forward one image, the image on the 2nd Monitor brightens up and gets dull again after some seconds.

    I use DisplayCal and have had no problems since i switched to it when using El Capitan. However, since upgrading to Sierra, any large profiles created with DisplayCal dont work properly- pics viewed in finders preview show over dark shadows. It sometimes shows the correct images but after a second it changed to the more contrasty version. I suspect that it is applying the default profile when it does this. I can create a smaller profile using only a few patches and this solves the problem, but this isnt optimal. So frustrating that i have to waste time trying to solve this.... Does anyone else have this problem?

    You'll need to update to MacOS Sierra 10.12 where the bug is fixed.

    Lightroom CC 2015.7 and OS 10.11.6, bug is still there. 9KB Matrix profile works, 1.3MB table profile doesn't.

    FYI, I'm using the i1Profiler display 2 and created both matrix and table profiles on a late 2012 iMac under Sierra (final) and CC 2015.7. I'm happy to report that the table profile works perfectly now! Yea!

    I just upgraded to OS 10.11.6 and the bug is still there. I spent frustrated hours until I found this thread. Creating small Matrix based profiles with Xrite i1Profiler did the trick for now.

    7 months with no result. It's a shame!

    The same is applicable to BasicColor display software. Matrix profiles are worse than LUT based. And there is no option to manage LUT color table size.
