Hi all povers,

   Please have a look at a test file at povray.text.scene-files and try it out 
for yourselves if not convinced.
Seems refraction of a plane (blobs too) create an ior surface to appear on a 
sphere whereas some other primitives do not do same.
It's posted there as Refraction quirk(!) test scene.
After any of you check it out feel free to convince me of my incorrect 
assumption about refraction of certain objects being contradictory to overall 
global behaviour.
Or just comment (back here maybe) anyway, whatever ;)
Btw, why is it people are posting binaries to that text only area?
Keep in mind that the povray.text.scene-files is for texts (written out) and 
povray.binaries.scene-files is the one for encoded files.
Though I always forgive and forget a lot... I'm as guilty as the next person, 
given the chance.

Sorry about that... It used to be that when I attached a POV file to a
message it would show up as a plain/text attachment, but now it gets
encoded with base64.  Next time I'll just copy & paste.  ;-)
