I saw this reply in the archives:

But i don't see in in my inbox, dunno what happened to it.

Anyway, the screenshot in that mail is correct. (The red part is the
background set when copying from an obscured source, and its correctly
clipped so its only visible in the left half of the window. When I run
it I see red in the right half, while the green part is correctly
clipped.)
