Hi!

Note that the table printed in the second case is not exactly the same as in your MWE: some columns have question marks after their types. Probably you worked with missing values before.

This might cause dispatch issues on Makie side. Try running disallowmissing!(plotdf) in the beginning of your function. Does it fix your problem?
