In line graphs using _Makie_ with the backend _GLMakie_, the lines are not joined together. I do not know how to debug this. I suspect that this is an issue with my _OpenGL_. The compilation of GLMakie did not throw any warnings or errors and _OpenGL_ is in version (output of `glxinfo`):

> OpenGL version string: 4.6 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 22.0.0

This is how the graph of `sin` and `cos` at `-pi..pi` looks like:

You can see that there are some points but they are not joined. Other backends work normally.

I think this is [https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Makie.jl/issues/1460](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Makie.jl/issues/1460)?

Yeah, that’s it for sure. I browsed the issues before posting this and did not find this one, which is interesting. Thank you very much!
