Please don't see it as a critic to you specifically.
Just a thought which occurred, how we could create
a nice template to describe these complicated issues.

Here is a similar difficult issue, Phil produced
a great report combined with debug logs:
https://jogamp.org/bugzilla//show_bug.cgi?id=1311

Here Christian reported one issue with the resolution
explained https://jogamp.org/bugzilla//show_bug.cgi?id=1358
He might have also just created a patch, but left it
open for me to choose :)

It surely is a science to properly communicate issues,
so the fix can be most efficient.

The balance of who spends time on which side,
reporting and/or fixing.
In the end it is a collaborative effort of course.

Once reporters were able to produce a unit test
w/ a pull request or git patch, we might even see
them producing the solution/fix ...

But I am just mumbling loud.
Happy that I have seen so many high quality bug reports
lately, which allowed me to produce a fix rather fast.
And yes, pull requests also have been sent.

In a way - on a relative small scale,
the open source model has been proven: Patches have been made.

To all of you: Thank you.

Cheers, Sven
