I have not found this patch in BTS neither did I found any MR for imlib2. Assuming you can provide this easily I wonder what might be the best course of action - specifically the opinion of the release team. We probably do not want to bump the upstream version of some frequently used library at the current state of the freeze. So do you prefer the patch mentioned by Nicolas or ... > I think the best would be to upgrade imlib2 to version 1.12.5 with the > added bonus that it fixes another regression[3] in 1.12.4. > > [3]: https://git.enlightenment.org/old/legacy-imlib2/issues/32 do you think that the new version does more good than potential harm? I'd happily implement your advise and upload either the suggested patch or the new upstream version. Markus, please let me know if you prefer to do the upload or whether you might have time constraints ans prefer if I would do some team upload following the advise of the release team. Kind regards and thanks again to Nicolas for the very helpful investigation Andreas. -- https://fam-tille.de
