Check scene-file in p.b.s-f and image in p.b.i.

After the camera looks through a transparent object onto a refracting,
partly transparent object, objects behind the refracting object get cut
away. I'm no expert in the inner workings of POV-Ray, hence I cut the scene
do until only those parts remained which created the effect, I didn't try
any other objects for the same behaviour.

All this on a Win2000, Athlon XP 2.4Ghz using POV-Ray for Windows 3.6.1.
Maybe some could confirm this behaviour on different systems? I'll fiddle my
way through a formal bug report once I have some time to do a few more
tests.

Tim

Even removing the intersection at the end, I get the strange behavior that
the square mesh in front of the sphere makes it much more visible beneath
the plane than it should be.
