I've got an update from the Apple bug reporter stating that this issue won't be fixed. Was it automatically closed and thus you'll be working on it, or does it really mean it won't be fixed?
Although my test case might seem a somewhat rare situation (OpenGL view inside an scrolled window widget), however it does mean that OpenGL together with X11 clipping is not correctly working on XQuartz.
Thanks,
César

There was one change, but it didn't completely address the problem.

I just use XQ to run Inkscape, and so far I haven't had any issues in the little I've used it. It also appears that Inkscape is still standing at the same version (0.91) as when I initially installed it with XQ So, I will take your advice. If it ain't broken...

We recently were discussing some bugs in XQ 2.7.9 that have not been resolved while the version 2.7.8 works perfectly fine and I am running El Capitan 10.11.5. XQ 2.7.9 did not allow me to work with certain commands that needed forwarding over ssh and given the limited people who have been working on that fix this may cause problems for some time. I would strongly recommend from my personal experience to stick with XQ 2.7.8 if you have nothing in particular to gain from upgrading. I hope this helps a bit. Good luck!
