Heinrich,
Is https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76257 the bug report you
are referring to? If so, I will take a look and see if I can replicate
and confirm it.

Gary,
Please add a reproducible example to Heinrich's report. This will:
a) Assist QA in assessing if it is the same bug or not.
b) Add more weight to the issue, which in turn is more likely to attract
a developer's interest.
If you know it's not the exactly the same issue and your reference to
"messing up colors" suggests that it may not be, please find and
contribute to an existing report, or open a new one.
Nobody (developer, QA or other) "denies the existence of an issue", but
no issue can be effectively resolved if it cannot be replicated and it's
cause determined. Which is where we come in with accurate reports and
reproducible examples.

This list is a great place to vent our frustrations about our "pet"
issues, but at the end of the day our "rants" here do nothing, only our
contributions (ie. bug reports and reproducible examples) will help to
get anything done.

Dave
