ind a testcase in i-g-t that easily reproduces the issue that'd also be very helpful. Do note that not all testcases in i-g-t are run as part of our nightly tests, since some of them are *extremely* time consuming; the full combinatorial testcase, for instance, can take weeks or months--I haven't done a full run recently--to complete. I hope this helps you understand why bugs can slip under the radar, and why a bisect is so important. Kind regards, David Weinehall
