I can't reproduce the problem. What is the Mesa version you have? Have you made sure that you are on the latest version of Mesa (make sure to check your current version before updating)?

Thanks @rht!

I finally reproduced the problem in the latest release. It works on my machine because I did pip install -e . instead of pip install .

This PR should fix it: #1611. I have tested this on my machine.

Earlier attempt was: a8c889e. But it looks like it worked in the past, but no longer work in the present.

@jackiekazil @tpike3 should we release 1.2.1 for this?

[jackiekazil]

We could do that.
