SwingUtilities.paintComponent does not respect transparent surfaces on components.
According to my experiments it seems it does not simply/blindly use the graphics object given as argument. Instead it seems to reuse some backbuffer for each call. So for instance, if I paint an opaque component using the method, and then an transparent (or 50% transparent) component the component from the previous call shines through. Does anyone have an explanation / solution / work around?
