That would be nice!

Wouldn't be unexpected if that would also happen with other
objects:-( But I still have no god iead at all what could be
the reasons...

I don't actulally expect it to make any difference, but if you
can do that it would at least show that the order of drawing
isn't involved - one thing that could play a role is "stacking"
of objects and that for some reasons their sizes aren't ca;cu-
lated correctly. It's rather unlikely but while we're still
groping in the dark any tiny bit of information can be helpful.

                        Best regards, Jens
