[Dashed lines disappearing on the canvas at some zoom level]

I seem to recall seeing this problem before, a long time ago, and I
remember it having to do with the graphics driver and/or graphics

which puts it way back in the day. I've always used Nvidia cards and
drivers, and have never had the problem. What graphics card and
driver are you using?
I have a card with hybrid Intel/AMD graphics, but I am basically using
the Intel graphic driver. The really strange thing is that if I select
the object, the dashed lines are visible without any problem.
I just upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 and the problem with dashed lines has
disappeared. As a wild guess, could have been related to this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfig/+bug/1177535 ? It was a
bug in the Xorg framebuffer, it seems, that sometime even crashed the
application.
About the compilation problems I had:
The application has been compiled without Tcl/Tk support. Perhaps you
had to use a specific configuration option to point to the Tcl/Tk
distribution the first time, so your new "./configure --prefix=..."
failed to find the Tcl/Tk files and reverted to the non-Tcl/Tk
version.
Ok --- now I am fighting with this thing. I have (at home) tcl8.5,
here tcl8.6. I tried:
The correct incantation has been:
./configure --with-tcl --with-tk
--with-tcllibs=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
--with-tklibs=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
Thanks for this wonderful program!
