My windows 4.5 doesnT' do that.

But looking in the file (and at the picture) it seems that it replaces yellow with the colour used before the last yellow part. in your file this is mostly blue, but also red on some occasions.

and if the previous colour is a transparent one, it picks even one before

interesting.
