Comment 18 for bug 1661705

I think that there's still a bug here for 5.

In pcbnew, if I place text at the edge, either by placing it or moving it to the maximum value, I get this issue.

Steps:
1) Place a text on F.Cu
2) Select and choose Move Relative
3) Input -2148, -2148 for the X/Y coordinates. Click OK
4) Save
5) plot to gerber.

pcbnew will write the file like this:

  (gr_text Test (at -2147.483648 -2147.483648) (layer F.Cu)
    (effects (font (size 1.5 1.5) (thickness 0.3)))

The gerbview output looks like the OP's image. Just a straight line, top to bottom.

Not really a realistic board but nevertheless I think the bug could be that we don't limit placing/moving items to the 1m limit.
