I recently updated to XQuartz 2.7.11 when prompted that the update was
available. Since then, I've been seeing some issues:
1. I work in xterms as my primary terminal program. I step away from
the system for a while, the screensaver kicks in and the screen locks.
When I come back and unlock the screen, my xterms have all shifted
around on the screen.
Odd, but I can't imagine this is related to XQuartz or quartz-wm as
I don't think anything has changed in that area for a few years. I
recall some folks saying that window placement bugs started happening
in either Yosemite or El Cap and got better in Sierra. Hopefully
someone can chime in with more details there.
As someone mentions later, this has come up before. It was just new
behavior for me after upgrading to 2.7.11, I'd not seen it before.
2. The next bit of bad behavior is that I can no longer open new X11
windows, either via CMD-N to open a new xterm or if I fire up the native
Terminal.app and try to run an xterm from there, no new window opens.
Did you log out and back in. A recent version of XQuartz changed some
paths, so the LaunchAgent needs to get reloaded when crossing that
version change.
I did do a logout/login cycle after I first upgraded XQuartz. The Mac
has been reboot a few times since then as well, this behavior returns.
Reading this now, I wasn't clear. This only happens after I've stepped
away from the Mac for a while, the screen saver has kicked in, the
screen-lock has enabled (I have a slight delay between screen-saver &
lock). When I unlock the system, my xterms have shifted down and to
the right and I can no longer open new x-windows locally (cmd-n for an
xterm, or running 'xterm' from a Terminal.app session). I can, however,
launch X11 apps on systems that I was already logged into via xterm->ssh
and those windows appear. I thought I'd tried launching a new xterm
from an existing xterm, but I'll double-check and see if that works the
next time this behavior pops up.
This has happened a few times, and each time I have done a full reboot
to recover. Next time, I'll try to log out and log back in and see if
that fixes it.
