The OpenGL drivers seem to have been fixed, and a little patience has paid off.

Thanks for posting this, Ben.

But…once the product is in final release most of our bug reports that really turn out to be bugs are due to compatibility issues, and come in via tech support requests.

(E.g. a user with a new machine that happens to have funky drivers says to our tech support guys “I tried it and it blew up, help!”)

It requires quite a bit of effort to draft a meaningful bug report: among other things, to make the bug genuinely useful to the software developers, you need to provide definitive instructions that allow them to replicate the problem. I’ve seen some rendering problems with a new MacBook Pro with NVIDIA graphics, but I really don’t want to invest the time in preparing a report if you already know about the problem.
