Description

I just found out calling ofSetBackgroundAuto(false) doesn't work properly on Android.
It makes the whole screen look glitchy as soon as I call it. I used OF v0.9.8 though. haven't tried this on master.
Can someone please confirm this issue? Thanks.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the glitch on Android with openFrameworks 0.9.8, then check whether it also occurs on master when calling ofSetBackgroundAuto(false). No source file or test is named; completion means identifying the Android rendering path responsible and confirming that disabling automatic background clearing no longer makes the screen glitchy.
