10.4.8 Viewer background preference does not work

I usually have the viewer background as black, but sometimes when dealing with files with transparency, or when placing 4:3 images in a 16:9 frame it is useful to set it to checkerboard or white.

Since updating to 10.4.8, the viewer background always stays as black, regardless of the setting in Preferences->Playback.

I deleted preferences, of course, but it does not fix it.

Before I use feedback to report this, I'd like to know if others are seeing the same problem.

TIA

Try rebooting. With the pref set to checkerboard, run the skimmer off the end of a project. Still get black?
