For formatting, I think quantity formatting and kinds-of-quantity mostly cover what we need for formatting fields. A few additional requirements for fields: - Formatting of date/time values. MicroStation (pre-CONNECT) stored...

In that case, no. The user calls `iModelDb.saveChanges`, native `TxnManager` detects that an element has changed, invokes our JS callback to update the fields that refer to that element's properties...

Why does this require a new package versus simply exporting relevant APIs from core-backend?

I'll defer to others on the virtues of separate test packages. But if you do go that route, please rename the tools/test-support package to indicate it's only usable for **backend**...

Hi @jon-dicken, Are you able to provide the actual name of your Intel integrated graphics chip? The symptoms seem similar to those [afflicting Intel HD Graphics 620/630](https://github.com/iTwin/itwinjs-core/blob/531449917480b6ac592fa8c4d8d80bddaebde03d/core/webgl-compatibility/src/RenderCompatibility.ts#L83). Device ID "7D40"...

Thanks @jon-dicken. It does seem likely to be the same driver bug as some other Intel chips, for which we apply a workaround already. I submitted #8157 as a presumed...

Thanks for taking it for a spin, @jon-dicken. @markschlosseratbentley if we're going to solve this we will need to get access to hardware.
