The consensus on the forum threads is that an SDL update from 2.0.5 to 2.0.9 or later will fix this issue.
As I understand it, macOS 10.15 Catalina has changed some of its internals causing the same SDL and 0AD code to now behave differently. This is an issue SDL fixed in 2.0.9.
But, if I understand Itms' comment from https://code.wildfiregames.com/D1671 correctly, then the good news is that SDL 2.0.9+ fixes the macOS 10.15+ issue, and it's also good that SDL 2.0.9+ still supports macOS 10.9 and 10.11. But the bad news is that this distinction between the new and old graphics API is made at compile time, which means we'd either have to require macOS 10.12+ for 0AD Alpha 24, or we'd have to bundle and offer two downloads (one for old macOS, one for new), and build those release bundles from an old/new macOS host respectively.
