Confirmed. If I grow both right and bottom side of the workspace by 100 mil it work fine.

Hi Liu Yu - Sian,
Do you want to keep this bug report and have pcb-developers take action on this, and if so, what action do you propose pcb-developers to take ?
If no further action is needed please close the bug with "won't fix" or reply to this bug report.
Kind regards,
Bert Timmerman.

Hi Bert,
I would like to keep this bug report.
I think pcb-developers can enlarge the workspace for flood filling and find the correct outline.

The problem is that the flood fill that fills the "outside" messes up when the outline touches the edge of the workspace - it ends up flood filling the inside as well. If you grow the workspace a bit and move the board away from the edge, it should work OK.
