Bug Description
How to explain it better look the attached image :-)
On display, these "white lines" or "empty 1 pixel strings" between each (generally vertical) repetition of a pattern, appear randomously depending of the zoom level...
On exporting a png file, these lines are present systematically with all the patterns (build either as bitmaps with the Gimp or directly with vector shapes with inkscape) that have a "fill color"...
It seems that the engine doesn't paste each occurrence of the pattern close to the other but separated by a pixel or half a pixel (I mean these lines are not totally white or transparent, but coloured by the nearest colour used...)
It could be something not so important, but the fact is that trying to render some "professional maps", there's no other solution than using patterns to stipulate materials and areas (fill colours and stroke are not sufficient!)...
The pdf exportation does not display the bitmap patterns at all, and the png export has this bug...
sorry, I had this bug on debian etch and sid,with the Inkscape 0.45.1, built june 2007, and I still have it under Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon, with Inkscape 0.45.1, built Sep 20 2007...
I precise that I really don't think it's a personal error while making bad patterns!-)
Thanks to the programming team !!
