Ah, then this feature is a direct result of using
Skia the 2D Graphics Library to render
Livecode stacks:

Graphics Library
Driven by Michael McCreary
We have been working for some time on moving LiveCode's 
2D rendering to use Skia, an open source library maintained 
by Google. The initial purpose for this project is to facilitate 
the rendering LiveCode stacks at any scale (Resolution independence). 
It is possible that we'll also see some rendering performance improvements 
but we'll only know once the project is complete.

This is the Skia project website:

I will open a new message thread about Skia 
to learn more about the changes of using
this rendering engine.
