Works fine for me.

If it used to work in a previous version, please bisect to find the version that breaks it.

So far, it is still broken on Windows and macOS but only on the OpenGL backend.

Not listing the GPU drivers or OS is a cardinal sin. It's a known issue with NVIDIA that D3D has an issue similar to this (it's a GPU driver bug afaik) but, I don't know of OpenGL being broken on any drivers.

Can you give us the specs of the machines you ran this on? And a bisect would be nice too.

Computer 1:
macOS Sierra v10.12.5
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2010)
2.66GHz Core i7
Now it has the following video cards:
Intel HD Graphics
NVIDEA GeForce GT 330m

Computer 2:
Mac OSX El Capitan v10.11.X and Windows 10 Creator update
iMac (24-inch, Early 2009)
2.66 GHz Core 2 Duo
It also has the GeForce 9400M

And now I don't know on whose end it is as I tried with 5.0 and some random dev builds every 4 pages and I still get the same result.

If it was happening in 5.0 it's definitely not a bug I'm aware of unfortunately. I wonder if it's a driver issue or settings issue. I'll try to figure out if I can trigger this...

No one could reproduce the issue so there's nothing we can do. Hopefully a driver update in the future rectifies the issue.
