I feel the need to post a "god help me" thread here because I've been pulling my hair out over this one for some time now.
The long and short of it is that GraphicsGale (I am using the full licensed edition, version 1.93.12) is saving animated gifs with transparent backgrounds in an awful stacked formation, producing such horrorible oddities as this:

When in fact, the sequence of frames is this:

The short term solution I tried was doing away with transparency entirely and just filling the back with a junk colour and making that the transparency colour manually in ImageReady, but this is a whole extra step that is cumbersome and time consuming, and sometimes doesn't even work, adding more to my frustration.
The fact that I like GraphicsGale and intend to keep using it doesn't help either. PLEASE tell me there is a solution to this problem that I have somehow missed.
