Well, I tried it. Seemed to work, played with all previous options and none of them could reproduce the bug. So .. to make sure that it was the -graphicssystem raster option that fixed it, I tried to reproduce the bug without this option .. and couldn't :/ I have changed nothing. Haven't even been at the computer. No idea whats going on.
If I can reproduce again, I'll test again.
