Rob, I looked with more time at this issue and I think that my previous statement that I was seeing lines where they should not be was incorrect. I think they should be there because they are in the *fo source! It is true that no lines appear with Adobe, but they are visible both with Mac's

When I reviewed sidebar.fo, I completely neglected the colours and borders added for debug purposes (oh so long ago). Let me get you a clean version. The spurious lines appear in the column which is not spanned by the inner cell in the first row. On 11/08/2012 03:19 PM, Luis Bernardo

yes, I see the problem. it is indeed strange but I think it is the result of the fact that each cell is painted independently and even though they touch each other (the common edges of adjacent cells have exactly the same coordinates) the viewer (and apparently your printer) create an

Agree. As I mentioned in my RESOVED mail, we have remove the underlying black which somehow seeped through in Evince and for the print shop. Thanks for your efforts. I think there is an issue, but whose it is is not clear to me and we think we're past the pain point. Cheers, rjs On
