Hi Scott, Short answer is I have no idea what could be happening. I tried to reproduce the problem, but in my case making the surface transparent didn't make any part of it disappear. I tried to use a similar situation (partial surface, gradient background, etc.) It may be something specific to your computer or the structure, which we would need to be able to reproduce to solve. You could save session with the surface at zero transparency, then use Help... Report a Bug, including your email address and a short description of the problem and how to reveal it starting from that session (e.g. command: transparency 1,s), and of course attaching the session file.

Hello, I'm trying to fade a surface to 100 transparent with the following command
transparency 100,s #2 frames 30; wait 30
and when the surface goes from 0% transparent to 1% transparent I see the following clipping at the top of the surface:
<zero.png> <one.png>
What is causing this and how can I eliminate it?
Thanks, Scott
