It's still not totally clear why this happens but inspecting the code I'm guessing there was just always a bug here that artifacts could be left around when the buffer changes. The fix is fairly safe, we just force clear the glyph's arrays that are sent to the GPU when the buffer changes.
I also made it so this happens whenever
WebglRenderer.clear()is called via:Previously it was only clearing the render layers which seems wrong. AFAICT this now is only called on when a font related setting changes or the active buffer changes so it shouldn't cause a performance regression.
Fixes #3617
