Description
After applying enough bottom padding in globe view, a donut shape appears on the globe, leaking the background color of the page. This only seems to happen with bottom padding and seems to occur when enough of the globe goes outside the viewport.
mapbox-gl-js version: 2.13.0
browser: Tested on Chrome 111, Safari 16 mac & iOS, Firefox 111,
Steps to Trigger Behavior
- Set projection to globe

Research direction

Trace the globe rendering path responsible for the viewport edge and padding; done means no donut or page-background leak appears when the globe extends beyond the viewport.
