The creation of a minimal runnable sample is a fantastic way to find
any bugs in your code, and has the benefit of (if the bug is not in
your code) giving other people a simple way to recreate the bug. If I
were to check this (and I'm not, but I would if you'd posted runnable
code) I'll have to write the code myself from your textual
description. Then, if the code works, I'll have to post the code that
I wrote as well as my negative response, and go through several back
and forths trying to isolate any differences between what I wrote and
what you wrote but didn't show. That's way more work than I'm willing
to do to solve someone else's problem.

In my experience, creating a minimal sample that demonstrates the bug
will lead you to the actual bug more than half the time. That's a lot
of time (yours and other peoples) that can be saved if you do it.
