Mapbox-gl fill layer distorts rendering on higher zoom

I'm using mapbox-gl version 0.46.0-beta.1 (With ReactJS).

I've drawn simple fill layers using GeoJSON source.

The coordinates used to draw the fill are

Coordinates Data: Coordinates Data

At a specific zoom level, the polygon renders as expected.

Expected Layer: Expected Layer

But on zooming in, the polygon distorts.

Distorted Fill Layer: Distorted Fill Layer

The code I'm using is:

       `let paint = {
          'fill-color': 'Some Color',
          'fill-opacity': 0.4,
          'fill-outline-color': 'Some Color'
        }
        let uniqueID = 'someuniqueID';
        map.addLayer({
          'id': uniqueID,
          'type': 'fill',
          'source': {
              'type': 'geojson',
              'data': {
                  'type': 'Feature',
                  'geometry': {
                      'type': 'Polygon',
                      'coordinates': [polyCoords]
                  }
              }
          },
          'paint': paint
        })`

I also had this issue. For a bounding box of coordinates for mapbox, having just the 4 coordinate pairs to create the polygon does create rendering artifacts, directly like above. When making your coordinate bounding box as a polygon, be sure to enter a 5th record, which would be the same as your coordinate at coor[0], where coor is your array of coordinate pairs. You will only notice the weird rendering and re-drawing when zooming, this in fact made it go away for me.

For example:

var coors = [[+sw_lng, +sw_lat], [+sw_lng, +ne_lat], [+ne_lng, +ne_lat], [+ne_lng, +sw_lat]]; //makes a 4 pointed polygon
coors.push(coors[0]);  //then continue

We were able to solve the same problem by making sure the first point in the polygon is also the last. For this polygon, you should add the point:

[28.6045067810482..., 77.3860210554725...]
