Linden Grass Interferes With Transparent Window Texturing?

There's lots of Governor Linden owned 1-Prim "short grass" scattered over the ground at Plano 230, 214, 33, and it visually passes through windows frames, where frames are part of a texture applied to a transparent prim-face. It seems to glow bizarrely too...completely out of sync with the outside light...when viewed through any transparent window (texture applied or not). I just verified this by looking through the untextured window of a nearby store. It also makes the inside back wall of a house I just put up look like it's been splattered with green paint. No other plants have this effect. Dodgy grass design...or something else? Either way...it's a little annoying if you have a house with windows...which I assume most of them do. ;)

(The grass btw is scattered all along that entire coastal road across sims....so the 'splats' of paint merely reduce into small dots of green on a different side of the house. Absolutely bizarre.)

Hello Dillon. This is a technical issue. I do not know the specifics, but I have seen some discussion on this topic in the forums. Simply put, overlapping alpha fight to be seen, so it looks odd to the viewer. There is not much I can do about this, but I have cleared out some of the grass at the location you indicated. I hope that helped.
