If you can confirm that, then you could report the bug to the developers. Well, you can and should report the problem to them in any case, but it may help them if you can isolate what's causing the problem.

Hmm...my bad if I wasn't clear. I have always used +quartz, pretty much
since Snow Leopard...even venturing outside of MacPorts for a bit, by
manually download/compile/installing everything.

I am doing some rebuilds with keep_logs enabled and debugging enabled to
see if I can isolate things before jumping to recompiling.

I will reply again if I find anything and will use all of the info I
collect for my bug report.

Thanks,
