After updating my graphics drivers both Golly 3.4 and Golly 4.0b2 crash on startup with the following error messages:
[snip...]

Update on this: 3.4 works again, as does 4.0b2 (which makes me assume that there was a bug in the updated driver that was quickly noted and fixed)

After updating my graphics drivers both Golly 3.4 and Golly 4.0b2 crash on startup with the following error messages: 4.0b2: The program 'golly' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'. (D...

I'm starting piece #0039 now.

In Golly 3.3b2 (and possibly in earlier versions as well), the bottom right corner of the border around each icon in the icon bar and in the scroll bar above it and the box around the selected state are all missing. It looks like you're using Linux -- if so, which flavor and version? [...] Did you ...

587648208755228687.gif A few weeks ago, I had the idea of creating a rule that would allow for the creation of animated pixel art within Golly. The main idea of the rule is to use a 2x2 square of cells in Golly to represent one pixel, with all four pixels sharing the same display colour. In order t...

Recently, Macbi discussed Conway's Game of Life on various neigborhoods on the Discord server. After implementing a one-dimensional variant with range 4 in my custom simulator (which I should post at some point), I quickly realized that B3/S23/R4O didn't result in anything interesting and began look...

Not sure. B4a and the survival conditions would probably make it more difficult.

B3aeij4aejrw5-ejkr6-ei78/S3ai4aejrw5-ejkr6-ei78 is pretty interesting on a torus, as the three kinds of stable background interact in various ways. Unfortunately the action dies down at some point. x = 256, y = 256, rule = B3aeij4aejrw5-ejkr6-ei78/S3ai4aejrw5-ejkr6-ei78:T256,256 3ob2o2bob2ob2ob2ob2o...

This is what happens to Golly for me after a left+middle mouse click (Xubuntu 16.04 LTS). Notably, using the mouse becomes impossible not just in Golly, but also in any other programs that might be running.

Actually not a bug. bgolly ignores -i (and -2) if the given pattern is bounded, which I'm guessing your pattern was.

Yep, that was it. Thanks for letting me know.

bgolly seems to ignore the -i option:

Some time ago I experimented with a rule which contains all rules from B0/S0 to B8/S8 (on their own lattices), and, as it turns out, it makes for a surprisingly good wiring rule. @RULE Simpl Wiring rule with states requiring any number of neighbouring cells to be ON - B0/S0 to B8/S8 all in one rule,...
