--- Comment #2 from François Gouget <fgouget at codeweavers.com> ---
I have retested this on my laptop with the latest Intel driver which I got
from:

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Graphics&ProductLine=Laptop+graphics+drivers&ProductProduct=3rd+Generation+Intel%C2%AE+Core%E2%84%A2+Processors+with+Intel%C2%AE+HD+Graphics+4000

(the page labels it as 15.33.8.64.3345 presumably it's a bundle with the audio
driver)

But the test still fail.

So there are two impacted drivers:
 * The VMware SVGA 3D 7.14.1.5025 (2013/12/7) driver.
   (as well as the older 7.14.1.1134 (2011/11/11) one).
 * The Intel HD4000 10.18.10.3345 (2013/10/31) driver.
   (the corresponding driver download is tagged as 15.33.8.64.3345 presumably
it's a bundle with the audio driver)

If it's valid but unwanted behavior then it MUST be tagged as broken() rather
than left to fail.

If it's a driver bug then it should really be reported so it's fixed and we
don't have to deal with this failure forever. The report should be made by
someone who will be able to answer technical questions, know which applications
are impacted, etc. (so definitely not me).

That leaves the question of what to do until the drivers are fixed. This
impacts more than just the WineTestBot.
I'm trying to get my laptop under the new 50 failing tests limit and while one
test is not an issue, it would not do to leave the 40 DirectX/OpenGL tests to
fail just because a very maintream driver is buggy.
Also even one failure means no green for Windows 8 on the test.winehq.org
results, which in turns makes it harder to know when there are new failing
tests.
