Ursula, I have the same problem when running Coot for Mac (0.9.6 from CCP4, XQuartz 2.8.1) on MacBook Pro (macOS 10.14.6) with an external monitor. I think this problem only occurs when you also have your laptop open. The Coot display window is not visible. I know the model window is somewhere, because if I enter Mission Control (control-up-arrow or 3-finger swipe up on trackpad), it shows up. To work around this problem, I enter Mission Control, then click and drag the Coot window to the Desktop corresponding to the laptop display. Exiting Mission Control, will show the Coot window. Unfortunately, the draggable top of the window is not visible. To make it visible, just resize the window slightly. The Coot window can now be dragged to the external monitor display.
I found another way to find the window. If you go into system preferences Displays>Arrangement, you can move the laptop monitor icon to the other side of your external monitor icon. I think this may be a problem with XQuartz. I have not had a problem when running ccp4i which also uses XQuartz. Hope this helps, Mark __________________ Mark A.
