Hi everyone! Need help 🤯

I’m trying to make an animation like [this](https://timrodenbroeker.de/processing-tutorial-kinetic-typography-1/) using p5.js, and faced a really weird issue that is reproduced only in Safari browser, and i really don’t understand why it is happening (ellipse is just starting to blink). All goes well, until I use copy() method, which works just fine in Chrome & Firefox. Here is the code: [https://codepen.io/s5f5f5f/pen/ExaPeEm](https://codepen.io/s5f5f5f/pen/ExaPeEm)

This is just driving me nuts!  
Does anyone know how to fix that?

UPD Finally, I didn’t find out what was the problem, I suppose there are some issues with the copy () method itself in p5.js in some cases. Rewrote all that stuff fully on canvas, works perfect

Hi! Welcome to the forum!

Do you want to share the code? I cannot test on safari but this might help someone to look into the issue…
