[Interest] Issues with QPainter on Mac 10.10

[Matthias Thöny]

First, thanks for the information.

I don't really see the proposed work around. Because you cannot actually 
call any QT function based on OpenGL < 3.0 anymore without letting the 
application crash (e.g. renderText in QGLWindow) , when selecting a 4.1 
context (only under mac osx). But I agree that it is a pain to propose 
implementations for every OpenGL core versions only because Apple does 
not provide a compatibility profile. Thanks for the link.
