PR = Pull Request also known as a Merge Request or MR. If you make changes or fixes to the code and you would like to have the repository management team take a look at the changes for inclusion in the code base, you can submit a PR/MR with the fix. The PR makes it easier for the team to get your fix into place in the code. I mentioned this because you did your own sleuthing in the code and found the problem. You understand the fix, and have proposed a solution. Submitting a PR would entail setting up a development environment for INDI development, forking the repository on github, making the change against your fork, and then creating the PR to have the team review the change. There is a section in the top menu, under "Manufacturers" to assist in setting up an INDI development environment.(which I think I am going to propose we change to "Creators", or something that sounds less industrial).

If you are not comfortable doing this for any reason, a bug report where the sleuthing has been done is the next best thing, so thank you!
