@etpinard thanks, fixed with gl-vis/gl-scatter2d-sdf@1c9ec60
Not the best solution, but persistent across @gl-vis.
That is because for scatter-sdf we have to use special alpha mode (actually natural one), and across other gl-vis components we use another alpha mode, therefore we have to switch context back and forth between alpha modes.

@dfcreative much better!

Ok. Well, this PR is ready to be merged once the latest gl-scatter2d-sdf patch is published 🎉

This PR should be part of the next minor release v1.25.0 set for early next week.

Amazing job @dfcreative ... merging 🎉
