I think you are running into one of those two bugs:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64566 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63672 Can you still reproduce the problem? If so, can you confirm that one (or multiple) of the referred patches in those two tickets fix the bug on your machine? If so, which ones (and I’ll happily cherry-pick them)? -- Best regards, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
