[Manifold-l] Transparent Line Backgrounds - bug?

[Tim Fisher]

I had created drawings with open line styles (i.e. a transparent 
background) in V 6.5. They were indeed transparent in that version. 
Now, in V 7.1.1, they are no longer transparent; there is no 
difference between selecting a transparent background and a white 
background in an open line style. Did something change between the 
versions? How can I get the transparent backgrounds back? I need to 
exactly match maps I produced at that time and as far as I am able to 
determine, that is now impossible.

P.S. Making the layer less opaque simply turns the background of the 
line a pale shade of the foreground color; not at all what I had 
expected (and a rather ugly effect, IMO).
