Hi Chris (and Jeremy),
Thank you for your post. So there's a bug in xquartz that's been
around since 2017 that's affecting the High Performance Computing
Center at the University of Edinburgh?
https://www.epcc.ed.ac.uk/blog/2017/05/24/x-windows-and-xquartz-archer
I checked bugzilla and see 1. that the bug is marked as "resolved",
and 2. that there's a patch available:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96260
It would be great if the XQuartz people could release a binary (DMG)
that includes the patch. I can see a lot of people still being
affected by this, and not knowing about a resolution via the MacPorts
version.
Cheers,
Bill.
W. Michels, Ph.D.
