Just for curiosity, Besides Google Chrome and LiveCode, 
Which others fully cross-platform software employs the 
Graphics library Skia in all available platforms?

If my guess is correct, LiveCode 6.5 must be a complete
new ground for Skia graphic library. 

How many of the graphic bugs reported belongs to Livecode's implementation?
How many of the graphic bugs reported belongs to Skia's platform specific
code?

That would be really interesting to know.
