Description
mapbox-gl-js version
v3.13.0
Browser and version
Chrome Version 138.0.7204.184 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Expected behavior
The expected behavior is there are no behavioral diffs between dev and prod bundles.
Actual behavior
Hello,
I have a simple MapBox implementation with React that renders pins and clusters
These are the libraries
"react-map-gl": "8.0.4"
"mapbox-gl": "3.13.0"
"supercluster": "8.0.1"
I am using Webpack 5.99 to bundle.
Node version 24.3.0
When releasing a dev bundle - everything works fine.
When releasing a prod bundle - zooming out to a certain point is causing the map around the initial viewport to disappear (map is not rendered) and the following error is thrown:
Uncaught ReferenceError: window is not defined
Is this a known issue ?
Is it related to webpack or the lib itself ?
Any thoughts, directions or debug instructions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Evgeni

Research direction
Start by reproducing the production-only failure with mapbox-gl 3.13.0, react-map-gl 8.0.4, Webpack 5.99, and Node 24.3.0, then compare the dev and production bundles around the reported stack trace. Done means identifying whether the window access comes from the library or bundler configuration and documenting a confirmed fix or minimal reproduction.
