Not at all. I was just surprised how little knowledge of the subject
matter I needed to find the definitive answer. Sorry for coming across
so grumpy, it's a known bug...
FWIW, if you need to dive deeper into that compatibility tangle, this
site may help: https://mesamatrix.net

The MacPorts version of Mesa is 17.1.6. It took roughly 30 second
for me
to find this page:
https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mesa3d.org%2Frelnotes%2F17.1.6.html&data=02%7C01%7Cstephen.langer%40nist.gov%7Cb089a5bbbf384a5ca6bb08d5652c5d01%7C2ab5d82fd8fa4797a93e054655c61dec%7C1%7C0%7C636526163576545449&sdata=ai86TDzzmiXRIduisritq%2BthkgCMRHtjX5JATnrTv3A%3D&reserved=0
Read the second paragraph in the first section.
I am not familiar with this particular software combination (or
the
version widgetry of OpenGL) but based on that paragraph and the
error
message, it seems to me that this is either a vtk bug or a
limitation of
the underlying driver.
