Hello! The effect of small lines disappearing seems to be an issue with cairo. See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1174909 I'm using cairo 1.12.16.
It's very likely not gerbv's fault. Sorry for the noise here. :-) Regards, Clemens On 01/17/2014 05:57 PM, Clemens Koller wrote: > Hello, again! > > I have some additional information and a much more reduced > testcase to this issue.
