How is 'renders incorrectly' mapped to 'enhancement request'? Just curious... 
Comment 2 Riccardo Magliocchetti 2008-04-15 01:27:39 UTC
The policy (as i understand it :) is to have all "$mysite does not work correctly" filed as enhancement because most of the time this is matter of unimplemented features of actionscript, swf.

While we are it, i have difficulties on finding what a 'Gamecast link' is. Could you provide an url, please?
Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2008-04-15 08:06:54 UTC
Go to http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/scoreboard

For each game, when it is active, there will be a 'gamecast' link that will pop open the the flash animation/app. Unfortunately, they're not active when the games aren't active, so best bet is between 7PM and 1AM, US Eastern.

FYI, with latest git i get a pango segmentation fault: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=528639

This works with git, very slow though.
Comment 6 Riccardo Magliocchetti 2008-09-08 04:44:20 UTC
A new stable release that plays this is out so i'm closing. Please reopen if it doesn't work for you.
