Recent MikteX / PSTricks update causes misplacement of texts

[Lorenzo Benedetti]

After an update of MikTek, LatexDraw started to misplace texts (formulas too) and group shapes.
In the attachment I added a .rar file with an example file in order to reproduce the bug and some image of it:

"ExampleMisplacement-OriginalFile.svg" is a file that I had already made with a previous version of Miktek. I made it with LatexDraw 3.3.1 and the .png export of this file in its correct rendering is in the file "previous rendering.png". Now, with both LatexDraw 3.3.1 and 3.3.4 the result is given in the file "actual rendering.png". Note that initially, at the opening of the .svg file, the positioning of the shapes is correct (see "actual position.png").

The bug produces a misplacement of the text (see "TextBoundingBox.png"), a misplacement of formulas (see "FormulaBoundingBox.png"), a correct placement of geometrical shapes and group shapes but the latter has a wrong bounding box (see "singleShapeSelection.png" and "groupSelection.png").

The MikTek that was able to produce a correct rendering has only the package pstricks dated 2015-08-31, but now is deprecated and divided in multiple packages. The MikTek packages that creates the issues are the latest. I checked on pstricks website and from 2015 the updates were:

2016-06-08: update pstricks base
2016-05-15: new package pst-cie
2016-05-16: update pst-plot
2016-05-14: update pst-node
2016-02-09: update pstricks-add
2015-12-17: update pst-solides3d
2015-05-18: update pst-coil
2015-05-15: update pst-barcode

Let me know if I can provide you further information to solve the problem...
Thank you for your work!

Hi,
Thanks for the report!
Can you test the latest development version:
https://ci.inria.fr/malai/job/latexdraw%20bundle/

I recently fixed a problem due to a change in PSTricks that affect recent miktex updates.

Cheers

Hi Arno,

it appears that in the latest development version the issues were solved. I am sorry that, before sending the bug, I could not find the development version bundle to run a test.

I really do appreciate your work!! Thank you very much!!

Cheers,

Lorenzo

No problem. I prefer to have more feedback on a problem than no feedback ;)
