Would you mind to look into this bug, if you have some time? It's bit of annoyance to not being able to see (easily) the where the (writer) image anchor being located.

The anchor is present, but or 100% transparent, or lacking the grayish color (as far I can tell)

So down in the vcl code I can see a bitmap with with a nearly transparent alpha mask. But I cannot find where this bitmap is created as it is somewhere in the application layers.

Maybe if someone can bisect this it will give us some clues as to where the code that creates this bitmap is?
