Description

## Description of bug / unexpected behavior

In the nudging example in of VectorField, parts of the circles go in and out of view and gets distorted when using opengl.

Cairo:

## Expected behavior

Expect it to be the same as cairo with no distortion

## How to reproduce the issue

Code for reproducing the problem

```py
class Nudging(Scene):
def construct(self):
func = lambda pos: np.sin(pos[1] / 2) * RIGHT + np.cos(pos[0] / 2) * UP
vector_field = ArrowVectorField(func, delta_x=1, delta_y=1, length_func=lambda x: x / 2)
self.add(vector_field)
circle = Circle(radius=2).shift(LEFT)
self.add(circle.copy().set_color(GRAY))
dot = Dot().move_to(circle)

vector_field.nudge(circle, -2, 60, True)
vector_field.nudge(dot, -2, 60)

circle.add_updater(vector_field.get_nudge_updater(pointwise=True))
dot.add_updater(vector_field.get_nudge_updater())
self.add(circle, dot)
self.wait(6)
```

Research direction

Start with the provided Nudging scene and run it with both OpenGL and Cairo, focusing on ArrowVectorField.nudge and the circle and dot updaters. Compare the rendered motion and trace the OpenGL-specific distortion; done means the OpenGL result matches Cairo without parts of the circle leaving view or becoming distorted.
