Description Daniel Balog 2022-03-21 00:58:04 PDT 
The application at the following URL: 

https://dev.luciad.com/portal/packed-samples/panoramics/panorama/index.html?webgl&reference=epsg:4978

Seems to be broken since the new Safari 15.4 upgrade, as far as I can tell. If you open this page, and move the mouse around a bit, the screen will go black. There's no clear errors on the console. I'm not sure how to debug this. 

You can temporarily "fix" the application by resizing the window. But moving the mouse will cause it to turn black again.

In Chrome and Edge, the application works as intended, even on the same hardware.

I'm running an M1 MacBook Pro with all the latest software updates.

Further feedback:

I can't reproduce this on a 2017 Intel-based MacBook Pro with Safari 15.4. This device uses an AMD discrete GPU. On this device, the web app works as intended and produces results similar to Chrome.

I can however reproduce something similar on an M1 iPad Air, so it seems to be related to the M1 chip and webkit somehow.

This will definitely be fixed with the forthcoming roll to top-of-tree ANGLE in Bug 238171; it's possible it's already rendering correctly in top-of-tree WebKit with other cherry-picked fixes. Just verified in the MiniBrowser with a local build of WebKit + that ANGLE roll.

That's great news. Thank you Kenneth.

Hey Kenneth! I reported https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=237918, which fixes the webgl bug in iOS. However, we also experience this bug in M1 macs. Can you confirm whether the fix for this bug report fixes our example for M1 macbooks? We are still seeing the bug for M1 Macs in Safari Technology Preview 142. Here's the jsbin again: https://jsbin.com/mojuyosenu/edit?html,css,js,output

I'll open a new bug report if this isn't already resolved. Thanks so much!

Yes, I just confirmed with a debug build of top-of-tree WebKit from today running in the Minibrowser on an M1 Mac that the flickering problem is fixed with:

Bug 238171 has been fixed for a while, so marking this as Configuration Changed.
