Panning + temporary transparent fills v17

not sure if it was a glitch in previous versions of AC, but back then (v14 & 16 from what i remember), every time i'm in the middle of panning in the floor plan window, all elements with solid fills or background colour fills would temporarily have their fills turn transparent, revealing objects underneath them. that was until v17 when this wouldn't happen anymore. all fills/elements with solid fills or background colour fills would remain as is during panning. this was a neat thing to have if i ever wanted to align something underneath a slab with a solid cover fill. the workaround is to turn on trace reference & set fills & zones as transparent.

any chance i could get back this neat glitch?
