Sorry, no confusion with images. I have since discovered that the effect is
caused by my ATI graphics card. When I turn off all the ATI extensions on
my ProG3, the problem disappears. Turn them back on, it comes back. There
are five ATI extensions, and every one of them has a different version
number. I can only tell you that I downloaded and installed an ATI update
extension (v. 1.4.8) when it was announced in MacInTouch. Thinking back, I
first saw this problem in another stack about the time I got the new box.
This time the problem came up when I created a a series of graphics with a
"noop" ink. I got one to work correctly (with the graphic style set to
rectangle) and then copy/pasted to make the others. I changed the graphic
style of two of them to polygon, and got the anomalous effect. The effect
goes away when I change the graphic type back to rectangle, and comes back
when I switch back to polygon and reset the outline points.
The effect is not as simple as the ink working or not working, because the
graphic looks right after being edited. Also, the area of anomalous color
does not completely fill the polygon outline--it looks like a 0.8 scale
version, with the same topleft coordinate. Very wierd, but as repeatable as
can be!
