Odd background/display 'feature'

A wierd display bug has been bothering me (it's in the Sept 7 version
I'm using, but has been around for a while.)

If you switch the Display|Background from Normal to Chart mode, the
background turns white and everything looks OK. If you then choose
any dialog from the Display menu, e.g., Star display or |Data Shown,
almost all of the text labels turn white (dissappear). Printing in
this condition produces normal output, but saving to a BMP produces
the 'invisible text' mode you're seeing on the screen.

You can restore the text by switching back to Normal mode, then to
Chart mode, but changing the Display again brings back the
'whiteout'.

I never noticed this until I tried to produce some GIF charts for our
club website recently.
