Summary: When a UITableView instance is the subview of a UIView instance unassociated with the view property of a UIViewController, setting the backgroundColor has no effect on the background color of the table view. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set the backgroundColor property of a UITableView instance to UIColor.red. The UITableView instance needs to be the subview of a UIView instance unassociated with a UIViewController. Expected Results: The UITableView instance's background color will be UIColor.red. Actual Results: The UITableView instance's background color remains UIColor.white Version/Build: Swift 4.2 Configuration: See attached TableViewBackgroundColor.playground Additional Comments: Calling UITableView.appearance().backgroundColor = .clear changes all UITableView instances backgroundColor to UIColor.clear. This is non-obvious, buggy, and may not be the intention for all use cases of UITableView. Attachments: TableViewBackgroundColor.playground - https://d.pr/free/f/i2ZnDY
