I'm using Mac OS v10.15.6 with a 12" system and found the following regressions in v2.8.0_rc4 from v2.7.11: 1. XQuartz does not switch to the foreground when launched. I have to go to the dock and click to bring it to the foreground. 2. I'm unable to launch X windows apps from a 'ssh -X host' session, i.e. 'ssh -X host xclock' cannot create an X connection. Launching an X app from XQuartz using the drop down app option Terminal does work. I have .ssh/config = "XAuthLocation /opt/X11/bin/xauth; ForwardX11Trusted yes". 3. I use Edwin (scheme -edit) which is like Emacs. My Edwin keybindings for Meta-W (copy) no longer work. So I think something in the keymap changed. I'm also confused why XQuartz 2.7.11 asked me to install a newer version (available), however this new version is still in Beta. Hope this helps!

Seems to work for me.

Again, works for me.

The keymap should be the same. Can you debug these issues and file tickets with any additional data you have?

That was because 2.7.11 unfortunately subscribed to the beta feed. That being said, I just released 2.8.0 last night, so you should try with that.
Hope this helps!

What data can I provide and how is it gathered? For the keymaps do you know the best way to compare? It seems the path is OSX -> X-Windows -> Linux -> Emacs.

I will perform some comparisons again, but want to make sure I'm gathering the right data. Are you using a small screen size? I ask because I had prior occasions where it's geometry caused bugs that the developers missed on big screens. Thanks
Hope this helps!

I'd probably start by looking at `xmodmap -pk` and then comparing that in the good/bad cases.
