I'm not sure if this is expected behaviour. But if I set the backgroundColor of a Text PE , it is not shown, even if I set setFilled(true) . It seems to me (but I'm not sure) that the rendered should honour this flag. It's as simple as changing

  label.setOpaque(false);

  label.setOpaque(text.getFilled());

in

PictogramElementDelegate.refreshFigureForGraphicsAlgorithm() : 523
(also in the MultiText block).

Update: some unfortunate fact: a Text (an AbstractSytle) has a default filled=true (why??), as defined in graphiti.ecore so tha above change could affect some users... Sad

I hence suggest to set explicittly setFilled(false) in
GaServiceImpl.setDefaultTextAttributes()

It seems as if the intention was that texts should not have a backgroud set,
but always reflect the background of their container. If you would need that
possibility we need to think of a compatible way to introduce it. Would you
open an enhancement bugzilla for that?
