[~jgoncalves] the link
[https://github.com/apache/xmlgraphics-fop/commit/6361eaf6559a29da124bdd28e2023ff29e531afe]
relates to the first update in May, 28.
May be do you mean the commit
[https://github.com/apache/xmlgraphics-fop/commit/73ebfb18d86765ba0185fe8c27099434907fc356?]
I think no need to remove the condition`getUserAgent().isPdfUAEnabled()`
specially in the `drawLine` function. I set PDF/UA mode in the FOP config in my
production environment, and now the line marked as Artifact, even without this
commit.

There is a difference between `<fo:leader leader-pattern="dots"/>` and
`<fo:leader leader-pattern="rule" rule-style="dotted"></fo:leader>` in the PDF
rendering:
!image-2026-07-08-22-43-55-471.png!
Is there a way to redefine the character (quad vs. circle), size and may
distance between the glyphs?
