[light] object does not render in second [gemwin] unless sent [debug 1(

[rnkn]

Detail

My apologies if this is user error, but I can't figure out what's happening with this lighting.

I have found that the [light] object does not render in a second [gemwin] unless sent a [debug 1( message.

Here is my patch (also in plaintext at bottom):

Here's what I'm getting at step 1, 2, 3, & 4:

Enabling lighting only works in first [gemwin]:

Enabling debugging renders lighting in both windows:

Now lighting works as expected:

My assumption is that lighting in step 2 should work as it does in step 4. Is this my error, or a possible bug?

Thanks for your time.

arm64 ("64bit ARM"; e.g. Apple Silicon,...)

it's certainly a bug.

it's rather low-priority for now, as there's a simple workaround (send the debug messages at startup)

[umlaeute]

oh, and the object is rendered fine. it's just that it is black (on the black background), so it's hard to see. changing the background to e.g. 🔴 , will show it's outline...

it's basically the same as not putting a light into a scene that has lighting enabled:
