The test now passes on one of my Linux machines, but I still see the smearing of the text when scrolling. I took the html file from your test and used it in a simple interactive program using a transparent background that will show the problem. If you run the test program on either Mac or Linux (using the es2 pipeline) and scroll the window, you will see that the scroll area isn't cleared. I found that if the color has any alpha > 0 it works correctly. This means that something is behaving differently with fully transparent (alpha == 0) in the ES2 pipeline. It might be related to why you needed to change the initial fill color for the ES2 pipeline.
