Bug Description
Using File->Print function and ticking "fit in page". The area that is fitted includes hidden text, but the text is rightfully not shown, only the area is included.
Not all text is tried fitted. With the standard C_0805 footprint there is an extra ref.des. text on F.Fab layer that is not linked to the component with a blue airwire, which the print-fucntion does not try to fit (if it's Visible or Invisible).
The selection of layers to include in the print does not seem to affect the fitted area.
The behavior is not affected by the rendering option to show/hide "hidden text".
The included file is a Pcbnew project with the C_0805 footprint.
The footprint is placed arbitrarily,
the Value-field (F.Fab) is Invisible and is placed above the footprint,
the Ref.Des.-field (F.silk) is Invisble and placed to the right of the footprint,
The extra ref.des.-field (F.Fab) is Visible and placed to the left of the footprint.
I then go to File->print and preview the print with options "fit in page" ticked, and "print frame ref" unticked. The Footprint shows in the bottom left of the preview corner with no other text showing.
For some reason, my hidden Ref.des. field is not greyed out when checked Invisble until I hide F.Silk. layer. I've not seen this behavior before, it would be interesting to see if it follows the Pcbnew file or if it's my Kicad install.
