Hi António: I had a quick look at drivers/cairo.c, and could not spot any obvious problems with colour and transparency handling for memcairo. Furthermore, since you have previously found obvious display differences between the various qt device drivers for your particular installation of Qt5, and there are other problems with Qt5 (i.e., character alignment) that I confirm here, the present issue may just be another example of the result from a Qt5 bug which can only be fixed by Qt5 developers. For now, the evidence seems to be that Qt5 is pretty unreliable so I suggest you try the same experiments with Qt4.8 to see if all those issues you are encountering with Qt5 go away.
