background color + preview bug

I think there is a bug when you change the background color very often and then preview the animation.
A previous background color is displayed on some frames.
I cannot recreate the bug but I am experiencing it every day.
After a while it goes away automatically and the background is displayed normally.
But when I change the background color a lot the bug appears again.

Here is a video that shows the bug: https://www.dropbox.com/s/i9fioxlmcawho ... g.mov?dl=0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I hope the low quality is enough to see what is going on. Please let me know, if I should upload it in better quality.

Does it happen on all files ?
Can you screenshot your proxy option ?

I have been working on one file for quite a while now. I can report back later when I start to work on a different one.

Here is my preview panel, I always use these settings:

I cannot watch the video, but with version 11.03, i'm also experiencing a strange background colour : when I set "none" mode, it gets gray :shock:

(sorry if it's out-of-topic :oops: )

ok, does it still happen with "force proxy render" enabled & "background proxy render" disabled ?
(I just trying to have an idea of where is the bug in the code)

I switched the settings but it still happens.

I figured out how to recreate the bug and it has something to do with "display current (layer)".
Just create a file with a couple of layers, use "display current" on a layer, change the background color a couple of times and then preview.

You can see it in this video: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2j4j4zeo22uhe ... v.zip?dl=0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The same happens on my computer but I thought it is supposed to be this way.
