Yes, I have been testing on MacOS (11.5.1), Linux (Ubuntu 20.04) and Windows (10) with a manual test. I do a quick visual test with transparent, translucent and solid color, including scrolling and selecting some text. 

However, the `PageFillTest` system test (which was actually based on this manual test) involves also taking snapshots and pixel comparison.

On MacOS it works fine. On Linux I see this "ghosting" while scrolling, but snapshots are taken on a steady position, and it shouldn't be there. What assertion fails for you?
