You will need to tick the 2nd box on the troubleshooting page in wbconfig. The one about textbackground & button corruption.

Open WB configuration window. "Troubleshooting" is the last item on the left menu. Click on the "Troubleshooting" link and you will see the item you are looking for at the very bottom-right. Just put a check in the radio box.

I haven't downloaded the WB5 beta(s) yet...(I have a wife to answer to), but was wondering is the 'trouble shoot' just a Beta option? Seems it could also be beneficial on any version.

Good question Bichur, though typically I should think only the betas have it since it helps with fixing bugs. Though I agree it might be helpful to have it there for common problems or setting changes people can make to their PC because of some limitations with their hardware.
