System information
Godot v4.5.1.stable - macOS Sequoia (15.7.1) - Single-window, 2 monitors - Metal (Forward+) - integrated Apple M1 (Apple7) - Apple M1 (8 threads) - 16.00 GiB memory
Issue description
Since upgrading to 4.5.1.stable from 4.4.1.stable, running my project doesn't display the custom boot screen.
Primary configuration:
Viewport = 1920x1080
Fullscreen mode
Custom boot image (1920x1080) with three second minimum
Stretch mode = canvas_items
Forward+
Instead of the boot image, the project starts with a fullscreen black background and a 1920x1080 empty gray window in the foreground for the three seconds.
Then just before showing the starting scene, the fullscreen boot image flashes on screen and immediately disappears.
Steps to reproduce
Run the linked project.
Minimal reproduction project (MRP)
Here is a simple project (main scene and boot.png) that reproduces it on my system.
