Some remarks here:
a) It does happen only in Edit-Mode.
b) It happens only when there is at least 1 glyph in the frame
c) The length of the line seems to be dependend on the position of frame relative
   to other frames on the page.

I could track it down to the call to cairo_set_dash in scpainter. If you remove that call everything is normal.

Seems to be a cairo bug, as it doesn't happen with cairo-1.4.14

Sometimes its even worse, see WeiredFrame.png for an oval text frame.

Further investigation shows that this is clearly a cairo bug.
The last working version of cairo is 1.5.8, version 1.5.10 shows the bug.

Franz, can you please get the cairo guys to have a look at this?

Have already send a mail to Cworth pointing him to this bug.

Committed now an ugly hack to fix at least parts of that problem.
Final fix is only possible with a fixed cairo lib.

Can we close that bug as its a cairo bug?
