Anomalies are observed when users try to edit photos that are white or on a white/light background. In it, the image may be displayed as bright yellowish or even other colors, deviating from the original color.

The results of Microsoft's preliminary investigation indicate that the problem occurs when the Win32 APIs return unexpected information or errors under specific conditions.
