When I plot with the GR backend (Plots.jl) a popup window asks
**Do you want the application “gksqt.app” to accept incoming network connections?**
This appears each time I plot. How can I avoid this?

Did you happen to find out why this happens? This happened just after I updated to 1.6.1 and I’m also on macOS. Thanks.
