GLMakie errors in interactive mode after immediate use of a figure

[jakubkaczor]

GLMakie errors if Figure is used immediately after creation in interactive mode. The following pasted into the interpreter errors, what is unexpected.

using GLMakie
fig = Figure()
Axis(fig[1, 1])  # Raises the error

The following pasted to the interpreter does not error.

using GLMakie
fig = Figure();
Axis(fig[1, 1])

---

• what version of Makie are you running? (]st -m Makie)
  Makie: v0.21.16, GLMakie: v0.10.16, Julia: 1.11.1
• can you reproduce the bug with a fresh environment ? (]activate --temp; add Makie)
• What platform + GPU are you on?
  Platform: Arch Linux using Hyprland, installed with home-manager, and run with NixGL. GPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600U integrated GPU.

Does this happen every time?
I can't reproduce this.

[jakubkaczor]

I tried around a dozen of times executing once in a new REPL, and it happened every time. I didn't yet manage to make this not to error. Executing in the same REPL for the second time crashes the interpreter on the same line with

a different output.

X Error:  BadAccess
  Request Major code 150 (GLX)
  Request Minor code 5 ()
  Error Serial #493
  Current Serial #493

Furthermore, I also reproduced it with ]activate --temp; add GLMakie and julia --startup-file=no. After finishing execution of the second snippet in the original post, evaluating fig gives results as expected. Therefore, I suspect this is some race condition problem.

[jakubkaczor]

The (GLX) in the different output in my previous reply surprised me, as I run Wayland. I confirmed with xeyes program, that the window spawned by the working Julia code is run in XWayland.

[jakubkaczor]

In Makie's documentation I found the information that “the underlying GLFW library is not compiled with Wayland support”, so GLX is no more surprising. Despite, I don't expect reported behavior even with XWayland.

[jakubkaczor]

I am not sure, but perhaps solving #3674 would also solve this issue?
