Thanks for the response.

Meanwhile I prepared a web page <http://www.sanke.org/RevTestPage> where 
you can inspect some screenshots and download a test stack (40 KB zipped).
The test stack was created with Rev 2.5 (engine version - the "version" 
- 2.6.2A2).

The problem of suddenly transparent borders of fields (with a 
borderwidth of two pixels) does not occur on MacOS, but only on 
WindowsXP (I did not test on Windows 98 or 2000). Different settings of 
"Focus Border" or "showfocusborder" do not solve the problem.

The four screenshots on "RevTestPage" show:

1. Four adjacent fields with a borderwidth of 2 using Revolution 2.1.2: 
The vertical and horizontal "lines" between the fields ar displayed 
correctly as they should.

2. Same stack with a borderwidth of 1 using Revolution 2.5: The lines 
are displayed correctly.

3. Here you can observe the problem. Same stack using Rev 2.5 and 
borderwidth 2. The field borders now are suddenly transparent and the 
underlying image can be seen through the transparent borders.

4. Same stack again with a borderwidth of 3: The border lines are there 
again.--


I still am interested to know if anybody can see this, too. It would be 
hard to believe that the problem/bug only appears on my XP computer - or 
only on a few with a similar configuration. But of course everything 
could be possible.
