I have several programs where text is displayed 'on top' of a 'wallpaper' background created from a small bitmap. This has been used for some years.

When just one line of text is involved the display is fine with v7.1, but when 2 or more lines are displayed then whilst the text is there the background wallpaper is also shown beneath it.

With v7.0 salflibc.dll in the run folder and compiling with either 7.0 or 7.1 all is fine. Once the v7.1 salflibc.dll is inserted into the run folder the problems occur. I assume that I am not breaking any rules (Paul)?

This appears to be a regression. I will log it for investigation.

I haven't got what specifically the problem is. Can you post the image ? Is this what i see in 7.1 now ? This bad background which is supposed to be the bitmap texture appears after few days or after getting computer out of sleep. In 7.0 beta this bad background under texts was white in 7.1 it became black.

Hi, Just back from holidays - the problem I originally reported (without any sleep etc) appears very similar to that you are now experiencing.

All the best

Bill

This bug has now been fixed for the next release.

For Dan in particular...

The fix will mean that if you want transparent text on top of wallpaper then you will need to use %_{wp or %}`wp.
