Xquartz Known Issues
This is a list of the X11 issues most commonly reported to Apple via bugreport.apple.com. If you are experiencing issues with X11, please file an official bug report with Apple; if it is a known issue (on this list), referencing the Radar Number from this list will save some hassle on the other end. Expect to receive a response that your report is a duplicate of a known issue, but your "vote" will be counted. This list may be incomplete -- some reported issues will not be shown on this list as they are currently under investigation by other teams (for example, Spaces-related issues.)
