I see this on linux

And this, the wires and the symbol is black here.

Ehh, what is the difference between (2a) and (2b)? Seems like two
formulations of the same thing.

I think I am seeing the behaivour you describe there. But when U move
the text in the library editor, it seems to me like the artifact text
is what is kind of missing form the thing actually moved, see the
attached screenshot. Note the 74LS03 text that I moved down.
