[TYPO3] (v3.8.1) GIFBUILDER Objects with bg are empty .gifs / has worked with v3.7

[Sauerborn, Timm]

Hi List,

I've upgraded to TYPO3 3.8.1 and unfortunately the GIFBUILDER doesn't work
as expected, anymore :(
It won't create gifs with a background anymore... See following TS-Code:
-- Works (even in 3.8.1):
  RO {
    backColor = #FFFFFF
    XY = [10.w]+15, 18
    10 = TEXT
    10.text.field = title
    10.fontFace = t3lib/fonts/arial.ttf
    10.fontColor = #000000
    10.fontSize = 10
    10.offset = 7, 13

    40 = BOX
    40.dimensions = [10.w]+14, 0, 1, 45
    40.color = #000000
  }

----------------------------------------
-- doesn't work with 3.8.1 anymore (worked just fine with 3.7):
  RO {
    XY = [5.w], [5.h]
    backColor = #CCCCCC || #EEEEEE
    wrap = | <br>
    5 = IMAGE
    5.file = fileadmin/templates/arm/images/button-bg-ro.jpg

    10 = TEXT
    10.text.field = title
    10.offset = 0, 22
    10.align = center
    10.fontSize = 10
    10.fontFace = t3lib/fonts/verdana.ttf
    10.fontColor = #FFFFFF

---------------------------------------------

The second snippet creates empty .gif pics...

Suggestions, anyone?

BTW:
Extensions still don't work on any page beside the "Home"-page (Site-Root).
So there must be a problem with one of the "core" DB-Tables...
I have uninstalled all the extensions except for the "make_printlink". It
works, but only on the Site-Root-Page.
Anyone got an idea about that issue??


Thanks a lot for your help, Timm
