Can folks impacted by the X11 focus loss bug give this patch a try? I believe it should work around the issue. Also, I believe you can avoid the issue in shipping versions by using Dock or cmd-tab to change to XQuartz rather than clicking on an X11 window. --Jeremy

I'll work on trying that in a bit ... never built XQuartz from source before.

I do usually click on X11 windows to switch apps, but I experimented with clicking on the XQuartz dock icon instead (in 10.12.5 + XQuartz 2.7.11). Doesn't seem to change anything --- TMHelperAgent, for one, still causes several momentary focus losses during each Time Machine backup run. It looks like they might be a bit shorter than usual, but hard to say for sure. regards, tom lane

Early results are that this fixes the issue completely for me. I'm no longer seeing any focus dropouts from TMHelperAgent, Location Menu, or Google Chrome, which all were able to cause it before. Many, many thanks. regards, tom lane
Great, thanks. I'll consider that a Tested-by: tag on the commit when I upstream the patch.

Hello, This patch seems to fix the focus issue for me. X11 would lose focus whenever I mounted or unmounted a disk or image, but this patch seems to have fixed the issue. Martin
