A relatively easy (although temporary) fix: Download ShiftIt from here https://github.com/fikovnik/ShiftIt Click on the X11 app to make coot have focus, and select Next Screen from the ShiftIt menu (or command-option-control N). This should put it on one of your screens and then you can move it around as normal.

I have installed as part of ccp4, Phenix (1.9-1692) or standalone (0.8.8) (As provided by the Scott lab at UCSC). I'm also running X11 (2.7.11). It seems to be fine, unless I have my big Mac Cinema HD Display connected (via USB). When the big monitor is plugged in, all coot windows just disappear. They reappear on the notebook screen if I disconnect the remote monitor. Never had this problem with the same hardware and older versions of the Mac OS, an have not had problems with windows from other software, either - just coot. Is this a problem others have observed and/or dealt with? --Barry Finzel
