Summary0015104: Lines sometimes reported by Preflight Verifier as "not on page"
DescriptionPrevious issue reported in 0015100 has resurfaced.
Two lines which previously worked (one on Master page and one on Page 1) and which have neither been modified nor moved are now again being reported by Preflight Verifier as "not on page" and will not export in PDF.
Other lines drawn on other pages are still OK.
Steps To ReproduceSave as PDF
Additional InformationA small amount of text editing was done in other areas of the document, and now the lines which were previously OK and exported normally to PDF no longer do.
I am attaching a PDF which contains Page 1 of the earlier (good) PDF and Page 1 as it is now produced (the 7 page full document is too big).
I am also attaching the .sla file and a screenshot of the Preflight Verifier dialog.
The line on the Master Page is the line near the bottom of each page above the footer text (title + page #)
The line on Page 1 is the line between the text and the footnotes.
The 28 images in the document can't be uploaded as they would require almost 100 MB...
TagsNo tags attached.

Those lines have no stroke color, so they cannot be visible when exporting to PDF...

Changing back severity to minor as those lines have been obviously modified.

But they did export visibly prior to some text editing.
Two sources of confusion (to me):
a) what would have changed stroke color without my having selected and modified the lines
b) why does Preflight Verifier report them as "not on page"
Thanks

I checked and both lines had neither stroke nor fill colors assigned (though they must have had stroke previously).
However, even though I changed that to assign Black for each line's stroke and fill, Preflight Verifier still reports that neither object (lines 2 and 66) are on their page.
Furthermore when I tell Verifier to ignore errors and output the PDF, Line66 does export but Line2 (on the Master page) still does not.
Perhaps both the loss of stroke color and the "not on page" issues are related?
I'm attaching the updated .sla
Thanks

Another thing I noticed: your two lines have their width set to "Hairline". Using hairlines is generally not advised as their behavior is totally peripheral dependent. When used in professional printing, they can potentially totally disappear from print, so this is an error which is commonly checked by PDF preflight softwares! So set width of these two lines to something above 0, save your document and reload it. Then you should be good to continue your work.

The "not on page" issue is caused by incorrect handling of that hairline case when computing bounding rect of layout objects.

Issue is **not** fixed!

I changed both the lines from hairline to 0.0139" (1 pt) and this made no change. Line2 (on Master) is still reported as "not on page".

OOOPS - I had only Saved the file - which did not solve the issue.
However Saving then Quitting Scribus, then restarting it and opening the file does seem to solve the problem.
Apparently simply fixing the file leaves something corrupted outside of the file.
Thanks for the help.
Suggestion: perhaps "hairline" should be removed as an option and/or some minimum width enforced?

@Fahad Ooops, this is now fixed. Got caught by my msvc precompiled header including scribusview.h automatically.
