UITextView with white background showing as Color Blended Layer in instruments and simulator

Solution
Well, the UITextView is a more advanced view that's scrollable and supports custom text formatting, so you might not be able to get it to 'not blend'. With other views you should check the `opaque` checkbox, but I doubt if that will work in this case.
Your best bet would be to use a UILabel instead. You could replace it with a UITextView when the user needs to edit a field, but using UILabel while scrolling should improve the speed considerably.
Problem
So, i have some UILabels and UITextViews in a Cell. My table was scrolling a little slow and i tried the "Color blending layers" utility available in iOS simulator and Instruments. It show in red the layers that are blending and are causing the slow scroll. All of the elements were blending, so i put a white background to the UILabels (same as the cell) and now the UILabels are ok (they had clearColor as background before). I did the same with the UITextViews, i selected white background, but they are still showing in screen as blending layers (colored in red). Every UITextView configuration is done in interface builder, i tried with every option, but they still appear in red. What do i have to do to the UITextViews so that their layers don't blend? Thanks in advance! PD: Sorry but i can't include captures
