I am also seeing this regularly on my local machine (MacOS 10.13, both Python 3 and Python 2.7; pyside and pyqt), but not on Travis CI or Appveyor.

closing as this seems to have been fixed in #1092

I am still seeing this regularly locally when I run the test suite:

but as mentioned it does not occur on CI for some reason

reopening - and it looks like this is an osx only issue.

This error is still visible using Python 3.6, traitsui 7.4.2 and PyQt5-5.14.2 (using Qt 5.12.6) on macos 10.15
