Is it possible that you have MM installed in 2 places? I have found that 
if I leave full-image backups (e.g. CarbonCopy Cloner or SuperDuper) 
mounted permanently, macOS Launch Services can get confused about which 
copy of  an app is the right one to use. This can result in the behavior 
you describe.
