Henri, thank you for your reply!
Firstly, my graphics adaptor is an on-board Intel GMA, which of course isn't officially supported, but works like a charm with most V1-type viewers and Robin Cornelius' OMV2.
As for the exact appearance of the bug, please see
here and
here.
Now, a quick survey showed that:
• Cool+mesh: has the bug
• Cool: has the bug
• LL3: doesn't even start, crashes the moment it connects
• LL2: can't find it in their website :-S
• FS3: opens but crashes the moment I enable anything non-low
• FS2 (2.5.2.16922): has the bug.
On the other hand, Phoenix and Imprudence don't have it.
I'm afraid I'm no programmer, so all I understood from the JIRA report is that the Lindens are messing with Shiny, hence the bugs
Anyway, the point is that the bug indeed is LL's, so thank you for the reply
Gordon
