Brad,

can you, please, let us know what is the "bug" here? If you paint semi- 
transparent line over the same filled shape (same vertices), clearly  
half of the line will be inside and and half outside of the shape, so  
each part will have a different color - that is the whole point of  
semi-transparency. Therefore I fail to see any bug or unexpected  
behavior here.

Cheers,
Simon
