Bug Description

My project comprehens 6 pages: the printout prints first 2 pages, then a blank page, nothing else. This happens the same if printout is sent to a real printer or to a file.
The preview is correct.

This might be also specific to a particular schematic file. Does it happen with any schematic project? If it is related to a schematic file, can we get it in order to rerproduce the problem?

You're right: in effect, I tried printing an older project, even composed by 6 pages, without making modification, and print out was correct.
Is there any way you can reproduce the bug other then send you the whole project, library and everything is needed? It is a matter of hundreds hours of work.
Can you suggest me some debug action that allows me to trace the origin of the problem?

The Version is 4.0.7+dfsg1-1, release build wxWidgets 3.0.3 Unicode and Boost 1.65:1, platform Linux 4.13.0-25-generic x86_64, 64 bit.

Do you use custom worksheet layouts (frame where you put data related to the project)?

I am guessing there might be an issue with one of the symbols. If your project is confidential, then perhaps you could create a copy and start removing symbols to see which one causes the trouble. If you think that after this modification the project is obscured enough, we would be grateful for getting the files for analysis. You can send the files privately if it helps.

I have just noticed that you are using 4.x version. There have been many fixes since 4.x was released, so it is likely your problem is already fixed. Could you try out a recent nightly build (available on the official download page)?

If you decide to do so, please be aware that files saved with a nightly build may not be compatible with 4.x anymore, so it is better to keep a backup if you prefer to continue using 4.x version.

I tried to remove one component at time, as you suggested, and the situation of printing returns good after I removed the component "ST3485E".
Can you find an explanation of why?

It turns out there is a circle with radius equal to 0 (so invisible) that breaks printing for some strange reason. I have already pushed a fix for the problem. Many thanks for pinpointing the troublesome symbol, it helped a lot.

I removed that circle using a text editor, since it is invisible, and now
it works.
Thank you very much for your help.
