The sentence 'The color must not be opaque to not hide underlying decorations' is incorrect. This PR replaces 'to not hide' with 'so as not to hide'. See the link below for why: https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/45265/use-of-so-as-not-to Closes microsoft#66333

I wouldn't say it's incorrect in this particular case (despite the SE link above--the example given there uses "not to" whereas here it's "to not" which clears up the ambiguity), but I will agree the current wording is very awkward so this is indeed an improvement. 👍 |

Yeah, I'm no linguist so maybe saying 'incorrect' is not... er... correct, but the current phrasing is awkward, especially the presence of two nots so close sent me on a trip deciphering what the text meant 😬 |
