Unable to close GLMakie window

[mchitre]

To reproduce:

julia> using GLMakie
julia> GLMakie.update_theme!(resolution=(1500,1000), fontsize=28)
julia> x = [randn() for _ ∈ 1:1_000_000];
julia> lines(x)
# now close the window - closes OK
julia> lines(x)
# try closing window again - window hangs!

If the call to GLMakie.update_theme!() is removed, the closing more often works. However, if I zoom/pan a bit and try it, closing fails again and the window hangs (beachballs).

I can't reproduce this on linux or windows. Does your cpu or gpu usage saturate when this happens?

[mchitre]

No, neither CPU nor GPU usage is high. The Julia REPL remains responsive too. And if I quit the Julia REPL, the window closes normally.

All the "window hangs at close" bugs before were only on Mac, so this seems a variant of those we squashed already. Interesting that it seems connected to the theme edit, we do have display variables in there these days so that could be a lead.

I am also running into the same issue where the window is not closing consistently. I have not been able to replicate the problem definitively. I use deactivate_interaction! and mouseevents, but am not sure if either of those have anything to do with it. I'll post again if I manage to narrow down the problem more. I'm on a mac with Julia version 1.9.0.

EDIT:
possibly related: #2629 (comment)

[ffreyer]

Does this also happen if you close the first window with GLMakie.closeall() or call that before opening the second window? That should fully close the window rather than just hiding it.

[sadish-d]

I have been using the x button on the window to close it. And I'd like user to be able to do that. I've added this:

wait(display(figure)) # wait to execute the following code until the window is closed
GLMakie.closeall()

It seems to be working fine with this change in a few tests but it's been difficult to consistently replicate the issue. I can report back if the issue persists.

[kbarros]

The latest version of Makie does not expect a resolution argument. Here is an updated test:

using GLMakie
GLMakie.update_theme!(size=(800,600), fontsize=16)
x = [randn() for _ ∈ 1:1_000_000];
lines(x)

# now close the window

lines(x)

# no problem closing the window again

This issue might is now resolved? Tested on Mac.

I can't replicate this on Mac (M1 as well) either. Closing for now.
