Research direction
Start with the linked CodePen and the DeckLayer/DeckRenderer for ArcGIS path, reproducing the flicker in Chrome with ESRI SceneView while zooming. Compare one-pixel lines with wider lines and confirm that horizontal lines remain visible and stable when the issue is fixed.

Description
Description
Here is a quick code pen that displays four horizontal lines with ESRI SceneView and deck.gl. An example image of it working properly is below.

However, every so often on the zoom end a line will disappear like the image below (red line is now missing). Lines also flicker while zooming.

- CartoLayer
- DeckLayer/DeckRenderer for ArcGIS
Expected Behavior
Lines not flickering or disappearing
Steps to Reproduce
Visit this code pen and zoom in/out. The horizontal lines will flicker. Every so often, when you stop on a certain zoom level, one or more lines will completely disappear.
This flickering can be mitigated with the pixel width greater than 1. The disappearing of horizontal lines can be completely eliminated when pixel width is greater than one. This problem does not exist when running deck.gl without a basemap.
