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
