<![CDATA[coreink UIflow UI element show() API broken]]>Just playing with a recently bought CoreInk and the UI element hide() and show() api seems to be broken. Consider this:

from m5stack import *
from m5ui import *
from uiflow import *


setScreenColor(lcd.WHITE)






label0 = M5TextBox(39, 55, "label0", lcd.FONT_Comic, lcd.BLACK, rotate=0)


label0.show()
coreInkShow()

here instead of plotting "label0" in Comic font, it will somehow fall back to a default font with the artefacts of the original label in the background. In app mode (downloaded) it will behave bit differently, but it's broken there too.

when downloaded

images behave the same. Anyone seen this?
