Status: Not a bug

This is not a bug. It may be an incorrect use of syntax or a limitation in the software. For further discussion on the matter, please consult the BYOND forums.
Descriptive Problem Summary:
Draws transparent labels behind the map when transparent labels are placed on it. Fixes itself after min/maxing DS.

Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
1. Create a map, filled with non-black tiles.
2. Place a label half way on/off the map.
3. Move label forward so it shows over the map.
4. View label in game with transparency on and off.

Expected Results:
Label text to display above map in all situations.

Actual Results:
Label text is hidden by map.

Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often?
Every time
In other games?
No game seems to use it, but it is reproducible.
In other user accounts?
Haven't tried, but I'd assume so.
[Edit] Yes
On other computers?
Haven't tried.
[Edit] Yes

When does the problem NOT occur?
Never. It always seems to occur.

Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)
Don't know. (P.S., you haven't added BYOND version 463 to the drop down menu.)

Workarounds:
Min/Maxing the dream seeker window fixes it.


Examples:
No transparency
With transparency
After Min/Max
Confirmed this on Windows XP Pro and windows 7, signed in as guest.
As documented in the skin reference, transparent labels are not compatible with most other controls. Their transparency support is very limited.

So if I find any other transparency bugs am I to ignore them?
