Right, I completely agree. So, this is what happened: Rober Leigh (rleigh) reported that in version 2.63a-1 of blender package there was a problem in visualizing solid objects (they disappear), while wireframe objects were displayed perfectly. At first it seemed to be a blender-related issue, while testing different solutions Roger came to the conclusion that the problem resides in MESA rendering drivers (at least for his ATI Readeon HD6870). He reported Windows, Mac and Linux boxes were tested on different applications using OpenGL and the issue could not be reproduced. Only using the software rendering option from Xorg brought to this situation. While the proprietary driver didn't show any problem. And then Roger told me (being the only active maintainer) that probably at this point the better solution would have been to reassign the bug to MESA package. This is a brief history of the bug. Hope it's clear enough. Thanks for educating me about these procedures ;-) Cheers. -- Matteo F.
