Field turns transparent for no reason

[Shari]

Not sure if it's due to the visual effects or not.  But on mouseDown 
in the field, it becomes transparent.  I tried mouseDown handlers to 
make the field opaque and to make the backcolor white, but no good. 
Finally just created a white object to put under the field, so that 
even when transparent it did not change color.
