It is an issue of used output method of GDI context device. There are two methods exists: Opaque, when the background is filled with the current background color before the text, and transparent, when the background remains untouched. It seems, that "transparent" method is used, and it always leads to these collisions in the case of ClearType, because new colors for the pixels are calculated on the base of existing background, and the color of the text, but since in ClearType mode the color of the text is not fixed and may be quite transparent on some places, multiply applying of this method to the one area causes the text be drawn bolder and bolder from time to time. -- Sincerely, Alexey.
