Hi,

Known issue, many discussions on the web, e.g.

https://www.epcc.ed.ac.uk/blog/2017/05/24/x-windows-and-xquartz-archer

Also, Note xquartz from

https://www.xquartz.org/

Is effectively no longer maintained and out of date. Instead the recommendation 
is now to install it via MacPorts

https://www.macports.org/

sudo port install xorg-server
