objects with invisible line style and hatched area fill may not export to pdf

Created attachment 76009 [details] Sample document showing problem Testing OOo 3.3 on Fedora Linux 13 Objects that combine a hatched area fill and line style "invisible" may not be exported properly to pdf. Steps to reproduce: 1) Open the attached test document 2) Export to pdf See that in the exported pdf, only object "A" is exported properly. Object "B", which also has a hatched area fill, is not filled in the exported pdf; only its label is visible. 3) Change the object's line style (Format > Line > Line > Style: "Continuous") to anything other than "invisible"; export to pdf In this case, both objects are exported correctly. 4) Reload the original document 5) Copy object "A" to the clipboard, then delete object "A" 6) Paste the copy of object "A" 7) Export to pdf Now object "B" is exported correctly, where the copy of object "A" is not. The order in which the hatched objects are exported seems to be significant.
Same problem in Windows version. Some shapes, even with continuous line style, don't export to PDF. Sometimes it helps to copy - delete - paste the object again and it will then appear in the PDF. Same problem in LibreOffice 3.3.2.
Another trick is to copy the disappearing shape fromt the first page into a second page. Then copy it again from the second page and paste it back into the first page. Duh!
I just tested with OO 3.2.1 on Windows and LO 3.3.2. The problem happens in both versions. But not exactly as described here. It occurs when hatching is on with invisible background. The line style of the surrounding box has not influence. Change the background fill of the hatch to white, and pdf's are OK. Ferry

Same problem on a Windows platform for OO 3.3.0. Hatched boxes (with no surrounding line) simply disappear in pdf translation. Funny is I didn't get any of the sort with previous versions (unlike comment #3). Maybe you just have to revert back to the good old code. Thx.
ALG: Could not reproduce with current Apache OO builds, neither with the attached document nor with newly created examples. Adding me to CC. Please may the original comitters use a current developer snapshot (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+3.4+Unofficial+Developer+Snapshots) to recheck. Thanks in advance!
> ALG: Could not reproduce with current Apache OO builds, neither with > the attached document nor with newly created examples. I see the same, testing OOo-dev 3.4 340m1(Build:9584) on Fedora Linux 13. PDF export works also with the Draw document where I originally noticed the problem. Should be closed, assuming it checks ok on Windows.
ALG: Okay, closing.
