Print schematic doesn't handle images in page layout correctly

[Seth Hillbrand]

In the attached project, I use an image in the page layout file. This prevents printing correctly.

1) Open attached project
2) Open eeschema (note that there is a PNG logo at the bottom of the worksheet)
3) Select print
4) This opens the eeschema print dialog. Ensure that the "Print Sheet Reference and Title Block" is checked. Select the "Print" button here to proceed to the system print dialog.
5) Either print or (if your system support it) select preview here.

At this point, only the image from the title block will be printed.

Using a standard worksheet without the image prints as expected. Unchecking the "Print Sheet Reference and Title Block" also prints as expected.

@Seth, I took a look at the project you provided and it prints fine in windows using KiCad (5.1.0-37-g241c5f998). The only issue I saw was that the bitmap in the print preview was still in color even when black and white printing was selected. The printed copy of the schematic looked fine to me. Perhaps this is a linux only issue.

[Seth Hillbrand (sethh)]

Thanks for the test Wayne. I guess I'll fight with it.

A video would help to understand the problem.

I also have this problem when I embed an image in a schematic. The page doesn't print correctly.

I'm new to the bug tracker. I'll be at KiCon - we can discuss more.

Also, print preview shows black screens - I think this is reported in another bug.

Thanks Jim! Good to know I'm not the only one. I look forward to meeting you at KiCon

I still experience this in kicad-5.1.5-1.fc31.x86_64.rpm. Is that expected?

[Seth Hillbrand (sethh)]

Nope. Something has changed the ordering again.
