Hi Chris (and Jeremy),

Thank you for your post. So there's a bug in xquartz that's been
around since 2017 that's affecting the High Performance Computing
Center at the University of Edinburgh?

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

I checked bugzilla and see 1. that the bug is marked as "resolved",
and 2. that there's a patch available:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96260

It would be great if the XQuartz people could release a binary (DMG)
that includes the patch. I can see a lot of people still being
affected by this, and not knowing about a resolution via the MacPorts
version.

Cheers,

Bill.

W. Michels, Ph.D.
