Volume By Price: Some error

I have a chart with one Volume By Price study and nothing else. The VBP is set to
1) Volume Graph Period = All Bars In Chart
2) Use Transparent Draw Style = Yes
3) Transparency Level = 70
4) Volume Bars Draw Method = Hologram

With everything being equal, here are the two screenshots taken a few seconds apart.
a) http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?l=1431482712461.png
b) http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?l=1431482654154.png

The (b) screenshot shows an extra volume profile in a lighter shade with a pink volume point of control. I don't have anything on the chart that would produce that. After just a few seconds, that extra volume profile graphic disappears on its own without my intervention. And then it would reappear later. This goes on continuously. The only thing I can think of is that the Hologram draw method may be incompatible with the transparent draw style. That is just a wild guess. BTW, the extra volume profile graphic shape looks exactly the same as my overnight volume profile for tonight from another chart except that the price scale is different. When I scroll my chart up and down in the picture above, the extra profile graphic doesn't move with the scale.

Also, separately, there is a ghost image of the All Bars In Chart profile graphic that appears intermittently when I scroll the chart up and down on the price scale. Please see the attached.

These are just minor inconveniences and I currently have workarounds like not using transparent draw style with the hologram draw method. Please let me know if you need further information.

Thanks.

Yes this is the case and the solution is that transparency is not used with the Hologram draw method.
