Issue with glDrawBuffers when setting one of the entries to GL_NONE

Hello,

I ran into an issue with glDrawBuffers and MRT when disabling certain buffers.

Consider this (simplified) fragment shader

#version 150 core

out vec4 Color0;

out vec4 Color1;

out vec4 Color2;

void main(void)

{

   Color0 = vec4(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.3);

   Color1 = vec4(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5);

   Color2 = vec4(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.8);

}

During shader linking the color outputs are mapped to draw buffer indices like this:

glBindFragDataLocation(Handle, 0, "Color0");

glBindFragDataLocation(Handle, 1, "Color1");

glBindFragDataLocation(Handle, 2, "Color2");

The FBO has 3 color attachments:
GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT1 and GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT2.

Before rendering with the fragment shader above, glDrawBuffers is called like this:

GLenum buffers[3] = { GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT1, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT2 };

glDrawBuffers(3, buffers);

=> The output is as expected, each of the 3 buffers receives the proper alpha value (also the RGB terms would be the proper ones as I tested, so it is not about only the alpha part here).


Now the problem:

When I call glDrawBuffers like this (because I don't want to render to 2nd color buffer):

GLenum buffers[3] = { GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_NONE, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT2 };

glDrawBuffers(3, buffers)

=> Then nothing is rendered to the 3rd color buffer (i.e. GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT2)! It seems everything after GL_NONE is skipped/discarded as well.

How is that possible? Where is my mistake? Or could it be a driver bug?

Help is really appreciated!
