Hi, We have had these problems with coot and xquartz versions greater than 2.7.8. This affects coot running locally on OSX and via ssh -XY from the mac to our linux workstations. You should still be able to download the xquartz-2.7.8 package (https://www.xquartz.org/releases/XQuartz-2.7.8.html <https://www.xquartz.org/releases/XQuartz-2.7.8.html>). Rebooting after the installation of a later xquartz has not made any difference on our macs.
