Hi,


I checked the `alpha-background' option yesterday and it still occured.

Then there was some update also updating MESA to 25.2.1 
(https://docs.mesa3d.org/relnotes/25.2.1.html) and since installing this 
I didn't see these artifacts again.

It's strange cause there was no bug report pointing to this, but maybe 
something changed under the hood. If it comes back I´ll revive the thread.

Best and thanks!

Marco
