Hmm, we had this exact issue before and it disappeared when I did some
work on undecorated frames, etc.

Is it possible for you to try building a newer version? If you use
homebrew I think you can do so with:

    $ brew install emacs --HEAD

Alternatively, is there anyone else out there using 10.13 and a recent
version of Emacs who can confirm? I’m still on 10.12 and will be for
the foreseeable future.
