   GL function loaders early, and help users understand what they are missing. (#2421)
 - Examples: OpenGL3: Minor tweaks + not calling glBindBuffer more than necessary in the render loop.
 - Examples: Vulkan: Added missing support for 32-bit indices (#define ImDrawIdx unsigned int).
+- Examples: Vulkan: Avoid passing negative coordinates to vkCmdSetScissor, which debug validation layers do not like.
 - Examples: DirectX9: Fixed erroneous assert in ImGui_ImplDX9_InvalidateDeviceObjects(). (#2454)
 - Examples: GLUT: Fixed existing FreeGLUT example to work with regular GLUT. (#2465) [@andrewwillmott]
 - Examples: GLUT: Renamed imgui_impl_freeglut.cpp/.h to imgui_impl_glut.cpp/.h. (#2465) [@andrewwillmott]
