> So why are you keen to retain the current behaviour? The logical behavior of left-right and up-down mirroring is useful in applications such as back projection, head-up displays and two-sided see-through displays, as well as potentially in other reflected displays.
If you delete a behavior like this, on which some applications rely, then it would cause many problems in some domains. I don't think it is safe to delete a feature on the assumption that it is not used. I have no evidence that the current behavior is broken. If it is in some implementations then those should either be fixed or should return DFB_UNSUPPORTED or some other informative error that would let the application know not to use these features.

So why are you keen to retain the current behaviour? It is rather simpler for me to always return a "valid" rectangle.
