Problem with MFreeFXBundle (AU) plugin's GUI.

Hello!
I have a problem with plugins from MFreeFXBundle. The plugin window are empty, and when you move the cursor inside the window, it changes, that is controls present, but they are not displayed. Sound processing occurs (from my last settings), but there is no visualization and there is no possibility to change the settings ...
I am trying to use AU plugins in OS X 10.14.6 for realtime processing. The problem is observed when working in two programs from different publishers - in Audirvana player and Soundsource app. Standart AU plugins from Apple, FabFilter, and Goodhertz works without problems.
The problem appeared long ago, but I did not have time to deal with it. At the time of my purchase of the MFreeFXBundle package, version 12 was relevant, and it worked, the update for 13 also worked some time, and I can't exactly remember the moment when everything broke. I tried to reinstall all versions, starting with 11 with no luck.
I ask for help in diagnosing and fixing the problem. Sorry for bad English...

Please let me know if this information is not enough. I wanted to attach a detailed report from EtreCheck, but this forum does not allow attaching text files...

I discovered the same thing happening in Acon's Acoustica with VST and AU version of every Melda plugin. Every other DAW they work perfectly.

Hmm... I will try to come from host apps side, in which I use plugins (logs, techsupport). I did not think about it, because they are two different apps from different devs. Perhaps they use the same approach to working with plugins...

It seems that the problem is related with the GPU acceleration. I found the host app with which the plugins work, and turned off GPU-acceleration in the plugin settings, after which the problem went away. Performance is, of course, unacceptable...
UPD. Compatibility mode does not help.
UPD2. I found that with GPU-acceleration enabled, resizing the plug-in window causes its content to appear, however, plugin cannot open new windows (such as the settings window).
Here is the link to video, where I demonstrate the problem.

Please contact us directly via info@meldaproduction.com with information about the DAW. We already discussed this with Apple, and guess what, they don't care, since it works in GarageBand
, classic Apple
. In general it works in all major hosts, but I suppose your host is specific (never seen that thing in the video), so we'll need to follow up with them.

I am glad that you wrote about this problem, because I have similar behavior only in Logic Pro X. This manifested itself after the update on Mojave. Thank you, I turned off GPU acceleration and now I can use plugins, but if I change the size of the plugin window, the program crashes. Melda my favorite plugins, I hope the developers fix it. I'm so used to melda that I don’t want to use other plugins. MeldaProduction is the best plugins for me.

Please check the new beta, anyways the final 14.00 should be released tomorrow. And thank you! 
I don't recall any problems with Logic though. While I don't think it's anyhow great host, it's the one that always works on macOS (it's probably the only one
).

Thanks, 14.00 solved all my problems. The only thing is that sometimes the analyzer “compresses” the frequency range to about 5 kilohertz. That is, the entire frequency range is displayed, but it is shrunk to 5 kilohertz on a scale. I will observe more.
