 Replying to [comment:1 gk]:
 > comment:2:ticket:30531 reported `6992168724b997c74fc89f1e4a9301ce` (I
 guess that's a Windows 10 system?)
 Yes, the latest.
 > I got the same on a Windows 10 system inside Virtualbox.
 On every config without anti-aliasing support.
 > On a Windows 7 system both inside Virtualbox and on bare metal I get
 `224a8abee799ec6381e06293de4565f6`.
 BTW, the test gives a lot of
 {{{
 Error: WebGL warning: Exceeded 16 live WebGL contexts for this principal,
 losing the least recently used one.
 }}}
 > So, it seems we have at least a fingerprint difference between major
 Windows versions (+ the OS difference). I wonder where this is coming
 from...
 What is your renderer on Win 7? I got the same results on `Software
 Adapter Direct3D11 vs_5_0 ps_5_0`.
