Hi,
Known issue, many discussions on the web, e.g.
https://www.epcc.ed.ac.uk/blog/2017/05/24/x-windows-and-xquartz-archer
Also, Note xquartz from
https://www.xquartz.org/
Is effectively no longer maintained and out of date. Instead the recommendation
is now to install it via MacPorts
https://www.macports.org/
sudo port install xorg-server
