We study both conforming and non-conforming versions of the practical DPG method for the convection-reaction problem. We determine that the most common approach for DPG stability analysis (construction of a local Fortin operator) is infeasible for the convection-reaction problem. We then develop a line of argument based on the direct construction of a global Fortin operator; we find that employing a polynomial enrichment for the test space does not suffice for this purpose, motivating the introduction of a (two-element) subgrid mesh. The argument combines mathematical analysis with numerical experiments
