Short description of error
Trying to change opacity value does not work in properties panel.
Showed it to hjaarnio and JA12 on IRC, they've advised to report bug
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
open file, change opacity on the properties panel to anything other than 1.0
changing the preview window to something else seems to solve the problem!
