The Mathematica book 2.10.16 says "By default the text is just put
straight on top of whatever graphics have already been drawn." and
shows that for the example
Show[Graphics[{{GrayLevel[0.5], Rectangle[{0, 0}, {
1, 1}]}, Text["Some text", {0.5, 0.5}]}]]
the result should be black text superimposed on a grey rectangle.
This worked on my system until recently. Now, however, when I execute
this I get a grey rectangle with a white bar extending from under the
black text all the way to the right margin of the rectangle. Why has
this changed and how do I go back to the original (correct) behaviour?
Restarting Mathematica does not help.
I _think_ this may be related to changes I have made via the option
inspector. I have played with the Display Options for Notebook and
Global setting Background to GreyLevel[1].
Thanks in advance....
