@Jdlrobson: Is Watching really the right place for this since you're trying to get the change merged?

Also, y'know, good luck!

@bmansurov @pmiazga and I have agreed to focus on the rendering code and drop work on this since it doesn't help our cause so this patch is probably as far as it will go now sadly unless @cscott or someone else has bandwidth to help. We will watch it until that happens. There is a lot of work here to be done.

The parent has been fixed ahead of this one with an ugly hack:

It'd be nice for this to get properly fixed.
