I can't reproduce this but I just tried a simple case. Can you share some code highlighting the problem (and/or file a bug at bugs.adobe.com)?

I've run into a strange behavior with a Canvas component. I'm using a Canvas to do some basic GoogleMap-like functionality: I add images to the canvas, it's got scrollbars because the added images sometimes extend the size of the canvas beyond it's container size, and it's draggable. There are times when I need to load a new set of images. In those cases, I simple call removeAllChildren() and then start adding my new images. It worked fine until I set the backgroundColor. Prior to this I had not set the bgColor so I was just using the default. The strange effect that has created is when I want to 'refresh' the canvas with a new set of images (and call removeAllChildren()), it leaves behind the images that are in the viewable portion of the canvas. If I drag the canvas around so that the old images get clipped, then they get 'painted' over with the background color (which is simply black). I've tried calling validateNow() in between the removeAllChildren() and drawing my new set of images, but that didn't clear up the old images either. I have no other properties or styles set on the canvas component except for left/right/bottom/top. Any ideas what's causing this?
