Points are not showing up #4345
Description
p5.js version
https://editor.p5js.org/o2460007/sketches/6WY_Otv5f
What is your operating system?
Windows
Web browser and version
153.0.8010.53 (Official Build) (64-bit) (cohort: Stable Installs & Version Pins)
Actual Behavior
When creating a point the visuals seems to disappear after an x value of 256 on any canvas size.
Checked strokeWeight, stroke, coding structure.
This seems to only happen on the Windows version, as Chromebook will show show the point.
Expected Behavior
I'm expecting to see points no matter the version of the browser used to create the object.
Steps to reproduce
Steps:
Snippet:
steps:
1. create a point at location (255, (any y value))
2. increase the x value to 256. eg (256, 300);
3. point disappears visually on canvas
// Paste your code here :)
function setup() {
createCanvas(400, 400);
background(255);
strokeWeight(25);
point(256, 300);
}

Hi! I’d like to work on this issue as part of the Build 2026 × ByteAsk Open-Source Challenge.
The x=255 → x=256 boundary looks particularly interesting, especially since the behavior appears to be Windows-specific. I’d like to first reproduce it across Windows/browser configurations, trace where the point rendering starts failing at that boundary, and then add a regression test alongside the fix.
I’ll keep the change focused on the underlying rendering issue rather than changing the expected "point()" behavior.
Would it be okay for me to investigate and submit a PR for this?

When using the version switcher in the p5.js editor, the points show up with
version <= 2.3.0, the first time the bug shows up for me is with version2.3.1.For me the bug also occurs when using Chrome while Firefox still works.
