I just tried this on my VDR with a TT S2-6400 and there was no such

Thank you for testing, Klaus!
Were you able to test the other problem (the OSD menu becomes fully
transparent and then normal again when subtitles would want to update
the OSD)? I can provide a short recording if needed. I guess that these
bitmap-based subtitles are not too widespread functionality. Even here
in Finland, only the state-owned YLE is using them; the commercial
broadcasters are burning the subtitles into the video layer.
In any case, these are very minor problems now; I have an acceptable
workaround for both. I just thought that I would go the last mile and
polish a bit more, to prepare for a proper release of softdevice.
While I now understand the VDR and softdevice OSD implementation a
little better, I still do not fully understand it. Currently, it is a
bit of a mystery for me what happens when the OSD is closed and the
screen is cleared. In osd.c I understood that there could be a
transparent "background pixmap" whose relevant part would be invalidated
when upper-layer pixmaps or bitmaps get removed. But, will this also
happen when the whole OSD is closed, or only for closing individual
"windows"?
Based on the SoftOsd.c debug output and some gdb sessions, it seems to
me that the cSoftOsd object gets created and destroyed repeatedly, maybe
every time something is displayed and then hidden again. Is this the
correct object life cycle? Is there some wiki page or other
documentation than the source code?
Best regards and thank you for the great work,
Marko
