Why do do I get GL_FRAMEBUFFER_INCOMPLETE_ATTACHMENT using JAVAFX versions greater than 12.02

Question

I have built a LINUX based UBUNTU snap app using BASE20 (i.e. Ubuntu 20.04) as a target OS, and it is in distribution.

That App works perfectly well using OpenJDK 11 through to 15.0.1 on OpenJFX 11 and 12. However if I move to a more recent version of OpenJFX I get the following error for every screen change (a change of scene on a stage) - the screen goes blank and the following error is displayed on the terminal:

Incomplete attachment. (GL_FRAMEBUFFER_INCOMPLETE_ATTACHMENT)(FBO - 820)
Error creating framebuffer object with TexID 1).

If I force a screen re-write (e.g. by switching to a terminal window or another app, then back to my app) the screen then displays the expected contents.

This seems to be a bug in successive JAVAFX releases - however it is possible that something is missing in the UBUNTU 20.04 libraries incorporated in the snap. I will post a similar help request on the Snapcraft site, but maybe someone here has bumped into a similar issue and may have some pointers.

My dev environment is IntelliJ Idea using gradle with openJDK 15.

Thanks in advance

Alan

Edit: I have managed to do some tracing of my own code and into the java library source.

The error occurs after last line executed in this method in file Scene.java - one thing - the application does not crash, it runs with a blank white screen until something forces a screen refresh e.g. opening another full screen app, then closing it again - the desired scene then appears!

first line is at line 2578 in Scene.java

I will try and file a bug report, if I can find out how! In the meantime, if anyone can find an issue with my Java I'd be grateful!

Answer 1

I finally got to the bottom of this bug, but only as far as a work-around, so for anyone else who has this problem,this may help.

I ran the app with the following jvm debug options:

 -Djavafx.verbose=true -Djavafx.debug=true -Dprism.verbose=true -Dprism.debug=true -Dquantum.verbose=true -Dquantum.debug=true -Dquantum.pulsedebug=true -Dprism.order=sw 

It was the latter option that exposed an issue, a crash:

This got me thinking.. if I set the width and height of the stage prior to calling stage.show() this may go away, and it did. e.g.

Stage mPrimaryStage ;

ScreenUtils screenUtils = new ScreenUtils();
        double minX = screenUtils.getMinX();
        double minY = screenUtils.getMinY();
        double height = screenUtils.getScreenHeight();
        double width = screenUtils.getScreenWidth();

        mPrimaryStage.setX(minX);
        mPrimaryStage.setY(minY);

        mPrimaryStage.setWidth(width);
        mPrimaryStage.setHeight(height);
        mPrimaryStage.show();

(ScreenUtils is a utility I created to get Screen information)

The errors "Incomplete attachment. (GL_FRAMEBUFFER_INCOMPLETE_ATTACHMENT)(FBO - 820)" and "Error creating framebuffer object with TexID 1)" are no longer reported.

This work-around has been reported to OpenJDK bug reports.

Thanks all
