Ok, then (2b), yes, the original is still colored. I also note that
when I move the block fast the text of the original is drawn again
breifly where it is whole the text, otherwise it is like it was shown
on the image I attached earlier. And by the way, these artifacts seem
to be where two line segements overlap. I now wonder whoat it will be
like if three segments overlap, if that will be white again (using
white background color).

Hmm, ok, but what I see on my side was tested with 5217 and wx 3.0.2.
Should my build be newer?
