1.  I can't update to the latest JOGL version due to project constraints.

2. You're right that some animation thread are still running before the animation thread is stopped.
I know that it's very hard to troubleshoot the root cause without looking the source code. Unfortunately, the source cannot be shared due to proprietary nature.

I had thought of disposing the Canvas (GLCanvas.dispose()) which will pause the animation thread and make the GLDrawable invalid.

But the root cause is not related to display(), reshape() methods which need to validate the GLDrawable.
Actually, I couldn't find the root cause why the glXChooseVisual gets invoked by the <signal handler called> in native code. Unfortunately, I can't find the native source code to analyse the root cause.

3. What do you mean "animator" on your question of "Do you use an animator"?
In my project, the FPSAnimator is used for re-drawing the display of the canvas if there is any data updated.
And the drawing is handled by its own FPSAnimator thread.
