Too bad.  Does it work when you replace

	     (monitor-attributes (car (display-monitor-attributes-list
				       (frame-parameter frame 'display))))

by

	     (monitor-attributes (car (display-monitor-attributes-list frame)))

in ‘fit-frame-to-buffer’?

So on OS X, (frame-parameter nil 'display) returns a non-nil value that
is not acceptable for use in places that need a display?
That seems like a recipe for trouble?

That does work.  I don't understand exactly how the display naming
things work on OS X (no time to look into it ATM), but if the docstring
of display-monitor-attributes-list is correct:

  Return a list of physical monitor attributes on DISPLAY.
  DISPLAY can be a display name, a terminal name, or a frame.

then the DISPLAY argument should work with the return value of
(frame-parameter frame 'display).

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately got weren't
resolved at the time.)

I'm unable to reproduce this problem in Emacs 28 on the current Macos
version.  Are you still seeing this problem?

More information was requested, but no response was given within a
few months, so I'm closing this bug report.  If the problem still exists,
please respond to this email and we'll reopen the bug report.
