Hi,

Here is a little MNWE (non-working…)

```julia
using GLMakie

r = randn(3,10)
fig = Figure()
axe = Axis3(fig[1,1])

scatter!(axe,r,markersize=20)
display(fig)
#scatter(r,markersize=20)

```

Running this (Julia 1.6) I get a window with 3D axes, with interactive rotation. The range of the axes corresponds to the data, **but no points are plotted**.  
If I use the non-mutating version (commented out in the above), everything works as expected. Did I miss something or is this a bug?

By the way, GLMakie is really, really amazing. Thanks a bunch to the authors.

That’s a known bug we haven’t gotten around to fix for the new Axis3 yet:
