Error

Symptoms		A text area that is supposed to be trapped has traps only on some letters.

Cause		Red text over a yellow part of an image will trap differently than the same red text over a cyan part of an image. For instance, suppose the cyan background color in the image below the text varies around 5%. If the cyan color is greater 5% where the text is trapped, if it is less than or equal to 5% where there is no trap (so it may appear randomly). The 5% value is an internal absolute threshold for trapping.

Solution		This is actually correct trapping behaviour, so no workaround is needed. Permanent fix:
