Hello

XQuartz is an open-source effort to develop a version of the X.Org X Window System (https://www.xquartz.org/), widely used to bring graphical support to applications running in remote servers (usually via SSH).

Since macOS Tahoe, XQuartz fails to refresh properly on window resize (more info here https://github.com/XQuartz/XQuartz/issues/438#issuecomment-3371409500), leading to severe usability issues.

The XQuartz developers are already aware of the issue, but I’m wondering if there’s anything we can do at the OS level to resolve it and restore the usual behavior from before macOS Tahoe.

Thanks,

KiM

I second this and agree that a OS level solution should be investigated as the software's functionality seems to have been broken on OS level. Even though official xquartz support was abandoned some 10 years ago, xquartz continues to be used on Apple systems in many productive work environments.

Indeed, that is quite annoying especially that many scientific programs use X11 and cannot be properly used on macos anymore
