OS X Mavericks

Hi! I'm testing Sibelius 7 in the Developer Preview (so not a final version) of OS X Mavericks. A lot of things are running very smoothly, but there is one rather huge problem: no other windows except the main window, will show. So no mixer, keypad, even engraving rules or house styles. If I open house styles, for example, the menu bar of the main score window will turn white, indicating it is not the active window anymore, but I don't see the house style window. If I press return, then, the first house style is selected (I can see the formatting change), so I think the window must be somewhere, but it's just not visible.
Can anyone think of a fix for this? Or is this just one of the bugs that will have to be fixed by the Sibelius developers?

Thank you very much in advance!

This question has been raised a few places. No one seems to know if the two will be compatible or not. Think about it. This is , what, the second Mac OS to come out since Sibelius 7 was released. As you may know, things are kind of backed up at Avid.

I think it must have something to do with the way the windows are drawn. I noticed a lot of small aesthetic changes in Sibelius when comparing Mountain Lion (the previous OS X) to Mavericks, that are obviously not dictated by Sibelius since that's still the same.

It seems that, with todays update to Developer Preview 4, things have been fixed. :)
