The initial value of the 'gp' settings for the ROOT grid viewport has
changed in 2.2.0 (see grid/doc/changes.txt). Before it defaulted to
transparent, but now it defaults to whatever the 'bg' is for the current
device (on some, e.g., png() this is "white", though I'm not sure why
right now) so on some devices something like grid.rect() behaves
differently.
If before you had something like ...
<draw, draw, draw ...>
# Now I think I'll draw a nice border around the outside
grid.rect()
... you should either do ...
# I'll draw a rectangle first in case there is a non-transparent
# fill in effect; NOTE that if I was writing perfect grid code
# I would always be aware that I might be being drawn in a viewport
# that was defined by someone else who might have, for example,
# defined a non-transparent fill, so it's not entirely
# grid's fault that things suddenly aren't working as I planned
grid.rect()
<draw, draw, draw ...>
... or ...
<draw, draw, draw ...>
# Now I think I'll draw a nice border around the outside
# AND I really want JUST the border; I have absolutely no
# intention of filling this rectangle, no matter what the
# current fill setting happens to be
grid.rect(gp=gpar(fill="transparent"))
