Yeah the world is full of subtle connection problems. In this particular case, dropping back to 8bps would fix it. But I'm not sure how we would detect that, or if it's even the right thing to do in most cases. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages,

I guess Windows is good at compatibility and defaulting to 8bpc is safe. But unless we have a GUI that allows users to then select 10bpc, defaulting to 8bpc is not something we should do. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to
