Summary0002278: Background color of (Nobles, Adventurers, Legendary units) flashes between black and blue (with GRAPHICS:ON only)
DescriptionThis bug is only apparent when using GRAPHICS:ON. The problem is that creature graphics which should flash (Nobles, Adventurers, Legendary units) have their background color flash as well. In my case, the black background flashes to blue.
This behavior does not occur when GRAPHICS are turned off in the init.txt.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationThe foreground for these units should and does flash as expected. The problem is the background, where the flashing blue color is visually similar to how drowning units are displayed.

Are you using 31.06 Legacy or 31.06 SDL?

Can anyone else corroborate this?

Confirming this for 31.06 SDL

EDIT: IIRC, it started happening in 31.05. Here's a screenshot:

Shoot, I should have specified that this is for SDL.

Also, thanks to Jiri Petru for corroborating this bug. I'm trying to update Plac1d's graphics pack, and the screenshot from Jiri looks like a Mayday graphic pack, so the odd coloring is probably not just my fault.
