FOR FIRST-TIME USERS ISSUES COMPILING/LINKING/RUNNING or LOADING FONTS, please use [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/discussions)
For anything else: we are happy to use 'GitHub Issues' for many types of open-ended questions. We are encouraging 'Issues' becoming a large, centralized and cross-referenced database of Dear ImGui contents.
Be mindful that messages are being sent to the e-mail box of "Watching" users. Try to proof-read your messages before sending them. Edits are not seen by those users.

What you have in mind or in your code is not obvious to other people. People frequently discuss problems and suggest incorrect solutions without first clarifying their goals. When requesting a new feature, please describe the usage context (how you intend to use it, why you need it, etc.). If you tried something and it failed, show us what you tried. If you are reporting a bug, explain what's the bug, how does it occur, etc. If you are reporting a crash, please include a debugger callstack."

An ideal submission includes a small piece of code that anyone can paste into one of the examples applications (examples/*/main.cpp) or the demo (imgui_demo.cpp) to understand and reproduce it. Narrowing your problem to its shortest and purest form is the easiest way to understand it, explain it and fix it. Please test your shortened code to ensure it exhibits the problem. Often while creating the MCVE you will solve the problem! Many questions that are missing a standalone verifiable example are missing the actual cause of their issue in the description, which ends up wasting everyone's time."
