When I add a text object to my screen captures, the text automatically gets a background colour the same as   Inner Color   option, even though the   Inner Color   option is not ticked.
Is there a way of making the text have no background colour so it is "clean" and the picture underneath it can be seen properly through/around the "gaps/holes" in the text string?
Thanks.

I think the bug is still there. Until it's fixed I'd better downgrade to an older version.

As is is very useful to not have any background color for when can we hope for a bugfix ?

(i do not like to add the text in ms-paint  afterward !

ah what the hell, i figured fix it today and avoid the embarrassment of people making fun of me for still not fixing this bug.  fixed version is now available.

i didn't change the updated version info in the updater though, to avoid everyone having to update for such a small fix, but i did upload the new version (2.34.02), so if you want to try the fix, start the updater and right click on screenshot captor and tell it to install from the web even though version hasn't changed.
