Oh no, I didn't take it as accusatory at all. I was just making sure
you saw that as well. I often miss things on long pages as such.

So here's the deal: I had forgotten that `--force-offscreen-rendering`
is not an option available in 5.4.1, it'll be available in upcoming

update the command line if you want to try with 5.4.1 release.
