NPE in OpenGLBackEnd::setRenderingSettings() in case no Z-buffer is enabled
Huge memory leak for recursively constructed Figures that might already have elements appended and stored in the SPX file, while whose geometry is re-expanded from the relevant Figure definition elements
Exception when Spatix is closing
