I once reviewed why colors were off in the MacOS version of LibreOffice. Not being all that familiar with the code, I spent days reading through the code. Then I idly looked up the kCGColorSpaceGenericGray and kCGColorSpaceGenericRGB in Apple's documentation, and realized they had been deprecated. Switched to the correct color space and suddenly all the tests passed.
Several dozen characters changed in the actual code. A number of ifdefs removed in the test code. Literally hours of wracking my brains as to the problem in unfamiliar code on a relatively unfamiliar platform.

- Kwpolska 4y agoSpending a few days to produce a short bugfix is normal. But in a full-time employment scenario, you might have a bug hunt like this every once in a while, but definitely not all the time, you’re also usually working on new features, so you do have some output to show.
