Sara I think ihad the same issue a few weeks ago. This is the advice i got from Fred Kiefer:
What you could do to investigate the issue yourself is to start debugging in the GNUstep cairo backend. If I remember correctly the method in question is in CairoGState - (void) compositeGState: (CairoGState *)source fromRect: (NSRect)srcRect toPoint: (NSPoint)destPoint op: (NSCompositingOperation)op fraction: (CGFloat)delta As you can see there is some special handling for copyOnSelf and that is the case you are after. You will also see special handling for a cairo version > 1.8.0, maybe cairo fixed this bug and that code wont be needed starting with cairo 1.13.0?
