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.

Reducing the size isn't possible with DispcalGUI as I said earlier in this thread (which is probably a bug with DispcalGUI, though). Matrix profile results in grayscale being far from neutral on my monitor.

I believe you can workaround it somewhat by reducing the sample size of the LUT color table for the color profile (don't know what is the threshold) or using a matrix based color profile.

Really bad news. But thanks for the update!

Well, here's me with the usual bad news: 10.11.4 has not fixed the issue (I'm on Lightroom CC 2015.5 with Camera Raw 9.5 for that matter)

We have tried to escalate the issue with Apple, but no fix yet. If you talk to Apple support, mention Radar bug #22991323.

Thank you for your reply. Ugh! I have a workaround but it sure inconvenient. Is there any way we can help by contacting Apple? (I doubt it would help!) This must affect quite a few photographers ...

Unfortunately this is an Mac OS X issue that Apple needs to fix. Adobe Lightroom team has logged an Apple RADAR bug. It is still not fixed as our QE last check.

Any updates on this? I'm still having this problem after several months of waiting for fix. Very unacceptable!

I would like support for version4 ICC-profiles, and table based profiles as well, with a monitor profile of any of those options the highlights in Lightroom, thumbnails, or the entire picture , go grey in the develop module.
