Doing send to back on pcb changes silkscreen contrast and won't recover

Current Behaviour

example sketch (any sketch should do!)

MP3_ESP32_done-no-ground-fill.fzz.zip

Load it in to Fritzing and switch to pcb view.

Image

initial layout (correct!) Now move pcb to back by select pcb then right click->Raise and lower->send to back

changes contrast on silkscreen top (which I wouldn't expect it to do!) The contrast on text on silkscreen in a part doesn't change only the Fritzing silkscreen labels.

Image

zoom in so the change is better visible

Image

select pcb again and right click Raise and lower->send to front but it doesn't restore the silkscreen contrast, and I can't find anything that will except exiting and reloading the sketch.

The change looks to have started in Fritzing 0.9.9, Fritzing 0.9.8 and lower work correctly (no contrast change) but 0.9.9 and later change the contrast. This is likely a low priority issue I expect as it is mostly annoying rather breaking anything in particular.

Build:

Version 1.0.5 (CD-2185-0-b9add9ea 2025-04-02) 64 [Qt 6.5.3]

Operating System: Windows 10

Current Behaviour

Expected Behaviour

The contrast on silkscreen should remain constant as it does in earlier versions.
