Huge kudos are due to Cody Russell for having fixed one of the longest-standing bugs in GTK. 11 June 2001!
Cody only got involved in this issue recently, but he took the time to really dig into it, examine different hypothesises, and test like crazy. This was remarkable: it’s not every day you see someone wade into a bug that’s been open for over half a decade and with over a hundred comments, and then persist for over a year to get it solved.
Way to go!
