I fought with that problem some months back, and I have given up trying to find a solution. Your pc monitor is set to run at 256 colors. If you are able, set the monitor to run at 64k colors, and the problem will go away. When you run your form using 256 colors, the text items' background colors all revert back to the 16 base colors at the left end of the color pallette.

I am sure this is a runtime bug, but I don't know if Oracle knows or even cares about it.
