Fix the following bugs in version V9.1.
#8818

[ibgreen]

Fix the following bugs in version V9.1.

While it would indeed be great to get a fix, and I understand that you are trying your best to raise attention, this is not a regression in 9.1, so we wouldn't hold the release for that issue.

Interleaved context use case is crashing due to

Error: WebGLDevice requires props.createCanvasContext to be set
    at new WebGLDevice (webgl-device.ts:116:13)
    at WebGLAdapter.attach (webgl-adapter.ts:55:12)
    at new Deck (deck.ts:371:39)

Reproduce steps:

• On master, navigate to examples/get-started/pure-js/maplibre
• In app.js, uncomment interleaved: true
• yarn && yarn start-local
