P2D/P3D crash with some external monitors

[antoineschmitt]

I use my sketches on many different setups (live shows where I plug my computer to the local videoprojector). In some cases (4 times in 5 years), my sketches would crash on startup, in the fullScreen() call. This is fixed by changing videoprojector.

What I have found ;

• it only happens with P2D/P3D, not with JAVA2D
• it happens on some projectors that do not have 1920x1080 resolution as their standard resolution (but not on all of these projectors).
• changing the resolution to a lower (like 1728x1117, which is my standard resolution on my Mac) fixes the problem
• this happens whether we are in “screen copy” or not (like fullScreen(2, P2D))
• this has happened with Processing3 and Processing4
• this has happened on Mac Intel and aarch
• this has happened with external videoprojectors and external monitors, of various brands

Here is the backtrace of the crash (full crash report attached) :

My hunch : some monitors provide to java a bogus or malformed or unexpected EDID configuration. And this crashes the P2D/P3D driver. I have attached the EDID of one faulty monitor, for your eye.
