In a uniform buffer a mat3 has 4 floats per column (or row, if row-major), even though only 3 is used and the 4th is ignored. So 12 floats altogether, not 9.

The OpenGL backend should take this into account when destructuring a uniform buffer and issuing individual glUniform* (e.g. glUniformMatrix3fv) calls. Otherwise shaders will work with invalid normal matrices (the typical mat3), in Qt Quick 3D for instance.
