About Safari
Operating system
macOS Tahoe 26.6.2
Steps to reproduce this
Steps:
- Error occurs trying to initialize the frame buffer
Snippet:
let cnv = createCanvas(windowWidth, windowHeight, WEBGL)
let fbA = createFramebuffer({
width,
height,
format: FLOAT,
textureFiltering: NEAREST
});
Error message:
Warning: The requested width/height exceeds hardware limits. Adjusting dimensions to width: 0, height: 0.
This environment does not support FLOAT textures. Falling back to UNSIGNED_BYTE.
This environment does not support FLOAT depth textures. Falling back to UNSIGNED_INT.
This sketch was operational in Safari when I submitted it to #WCCChallenge on openProcessing last week. I have checked other sketches and I think all the ones that use a frame buffer are broken. https://openprocessing.org/@kfahn/2997648

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Safari using the supplied WEBGL and createFramebuffer snippet, and compare it with the linked openProcessing sketch. Start by tracing frameBuffer initialization and the reported hardware and texture warnings; done means frame buffers initialize without these warnings and the affected sketch remains operational.
