Most annoying Graal bug?

Well, maybe. Its possible you dont care as much about it as I do. But it's been like that since v4 was out. I already posted a thread back then, nothing fixed til now. This is going to be a really long explanation...

Ok, let's start. I wont explain the exact problem yet, because that might just confuse you. Here you got an image, taken from and used on Esteria:

Just a basic image, used to display the location name in form of text inside. A simple box, seriously, nothing special. Well, it has transparency set, thats actually causing the problem in some way. Will explain that later.

Next picture. A screenshot taken on Esteria, in my testlevel. The box is added, and a test text is shown inside. "Test 123", nothing special. But take a closer look, especially at the boxes outline:

See what I mean? You might, you might not. Here it is, zoomed at x4:

You now probably see what I mean. Some outlines are missing. The reason? I have no idea. I got some information though. As you can probably see, its the outlines over and left to the box. If theres some outlining stuff there, it will be removed.
Need more information? Well, it only happens if an alpha is set on the image (it has a fade-in and fade-out effect on Esteria). And if that applies, only if transparency is set in the image itself. So mode 0 images are no problem, you can just use a black background. But I'm using mode 1 here, because I dont want it to be displayed as a lighteffect. When it's happening? Always. But also kinda random. Because with this image, it didnt happen first. It worked perfectly. And then, out of nowhere, the bug popped up again.

No errors whatsoever are displayed in the F2 log, still, it's bugged. And seriously, it's annoying. I demand this to be fixed. Thank you for reading this.

Btw, the images are thumbnails. Gotta click on them for full view
