Bug with client after taking snapshots

Whenever I take snapshots, the client's windows backgrounds and borders will immediately become transparent. Only the scrollbars and buttons remain visible. Without the backgrounds it's extremely hard to make out the text. Is this a confirmed bug and is there any fix to it besides closing and restarting the client?

It sounds like shortage of working memory.
My PC has 4Gb but I start to see memory issues unless I reboot at least once a day.
In a bad case, the UI elements go black for me.

The client - like many other programs exhibits "memory leak". It does not always return unused memory to the system.

Adding memory is the best path. Programs will 'memory leak' until eternity :(
