Real GitHub issues carry error dialogs, rendered UI states, and logs, yet repo-level issue localization is still evaluated text-only. MM-IssueLoc is a controlled benchmark that isolates localization from patch synthesis to measure whether visual input helps, hurts, or gets ignored. If you build SWE agents, this answers a question I've actually wondered about: is feeding a screenshot to your bug-localization pipeline worth the tokens, or is the model just eating pixels?
