Comment 1 for bug 771957

Setting status to Won't Fix. Fixing this bug properly would require
generating a separate image for each set of elements between text
objects in z-order. And then have LaTeX put them all on top of each
other with text in between. This is obviously way too much for most
users. I'm sorry, but what you need is too complicated. I advise to
solve it by manually placing two separate images on top of each other.
