[webkit-dev] Canvas rendering changes between Safari and Nightlies

[Oliver Hunt]

Without the full source, or a reduced test case it's we can't see what  
the bug is, so merely looking at code won't help.

Rather than using this list to report the bug though, I'd encourage  
you to file a bug at http://bugs.webkit.org as that
means the report won't be lost, and many people will be able to look  
at it and work out what is happening.
