I just found my old code not working any more:

```julia
Makie.scatter(1:2, 1:2,marker = [rand(Gray,3,3),rand(Gray,3,3)], markersize=30)

```

my julia version is 1.7.2 on win10, GLMakie is 0.5.5.

list of buildin marker works, for example `marker=[:x,:+]`, and single image works,but list of images will produce this:

StackOverflowError:

@sdanisch or anyone could verify this, or should I report it as a bug?

It’s a bug: [https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Makie.jl/pull/1917](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Makie.jl/pull/1917)

The GLMakie master limit Observable.jl to \>0.5, which is not included in many [JuliaGizmos](https://github.com/JuliaGizmos) packakges, like Interact.jl and WebIO.jl. Is there any reason not include Observable.jl v0.4 for GLMakie?

Yes, because the newest Makie version relies on the 0.5 release.  
I think we really need to try to move away from WebIO, since it’s pretty much unmaintained.  
I hope to find some time soon to move some stuff to [JSServe](https://github.com/SimonDanisch/JSServe.jl).
