Sky and map colors change between normal, dark and extra-dark when accessing chests or inventory

0 Note normal sky colour.
1 Place a part-filled chest [under a glass roof] so that you can still see the sky in the background while the chest inventory view is open.
2 Hover over an empty slot in the chest, then move the mouse to hover over a slot with items in it.
3 Sky color changes from darkened to extra-darkened as you swap from a full to an empty slot and back again.

This is a pretty harmless glitch, but I don't see why where you hover the mouse should affect the sky color at all. The glass ceiling part may be optional, but that's the setup under which I see this problem. Screengrabs can be made available if needed.

Update: description clarified. There's three states; normal sky, darkened sky (clearly an intentional background fading as part of the UI), and extra-dark.

Screenshot please?

Since the initial report I've logged out and in again, and now upgraded to 1.4.4pre as well, and I can no longer reproduce it either. Please close for now, and I'll reopen and add screenshots if I can provoke it again.

Closed.

As you see, the sky is faded from its normal colour in both pictures, but it's lighter in one and darker in the other, depending on whether you're hovering the mouse over an item in the inventory or part of the light grey 'frame' window texture.

I have reproduced this in similar circumstances in 1.4.6, so it's an intermittent issue that is still present. I still can't quite do it on demand, but I have screengrabs taken mid-morning facing towards the sun which show the problem. Hovering the mouse over empty slots or other areas of whitespace in the Inventory window is a trigger. (NB reproduced this time using the 'E' Inventory window, not an open chest) Move the mouse over a slot with an item in it, and the colour changes back again. Please reopen. Thx. Screengrabs attached.

Another reproduction method:
Enter creative mode
Note sky colour
Open inventory
Sky colour darkens slightly

Enter survival mode
Note sky colour
Open inventory
Sky colour darkens much more than in creative mode.

When I tried this today, in survival mode the sky seemed to darken twice in very quick succession; so quick it was barely perceptible, even on my slow machine. But the outcome was a much darker background to the inventory UI in survival than in creative. Haven't refound a reliable 'two stage trigger yet' but there is still something funny going on.

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.7.2 / Launcher version 1.3.4 ? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
