Segfault in ImGui_ImplVulkan_RenderDrawData with pcmd->UserCallback = 0xfffffffffffffffe #267

Description

@azonenberg

I'm getting intermittent crashes in the ngscopeclient filter graph editor (using my fork at https://github.com/ngscopeclient/imgui-node-editor although most of the changes are build/warning related and I haven't found any way they could be causing problems).

I'm attempting to develop a reproducible test case but have so far not been successful.

What I do know is that the crash is due to the sentinel value ImDrawCallback_ImCanvas being called - which as far as I know should not ever happen.

    My nodes are doing custom draw commands in them so perhaps that's related, the sentinel is not being found in the expected state?

    I now have a semi reproducible test case, at least if you're able to build and run ngscopeclient.

    I added the following code to imgui_canvas.cpp after the check for the sentinel:

            //DEBUG: Search the *entire* draw list for the sentinel command
            for(int i=0; i<m_DrawList->CmdBuffer.size(); i++)
            {
                if(m_DrawList->CmdBuffer[i].UserCallback == ImDrawCallback_ImCanvas)
                {
                    fprintf(stderr, "found and removed sentinel at offset %d, expected %d or %d\n",
                        i,
                        m_DrawListCommadBufferSize,
                        m_DrawListCommadBufferSize-1);
    
                    m_DrawList->CmdBuffer.erase(m_DrawList->CmdBuffer.Data + i);
                }
            }
    

    The fault occurs while mousing over the Divide_1 node in the graph editor, at which point I get

    found and removed sentinel at offset 1, expected 3 or 2
    

    For whatever reason, it appears critical that the right hand "data" output port is partially clipped by the edge of the canvas. If the entire port text is on or off screen, the fault does not occur.

    In general, the fault is triggered by mousing over any filter node that has output ports which are partially clipped by the edge of the canvas. Instrument channels do not appear to trigger it regardless of clip position.

    ImDrawCallback_ImCanvas is a sentinel value and should not be left in draw command after canvas is done. ImGui internal plumbing changed and that exposed some issues.

    There were fixes around that issue some time ago. Can you check if master or develop does work for you?

    Hello,

    This is probably related to #282
    Could you test if the PR #285 fixes the issue?
