Only the outer border of a table prints: the interior boundaries are displayed on the screen but fail to print.

1. Start PgS
2. Create new document
3. Draw a table
4. Print

Tables created with script
The table displays fine, but when printing the borders of cells are not printed (the bounding box of the table is still stroked).

Tables created in the interface
The table displays fine, but when printed is solid black. Checking the properties the fill was set to black. Setting the fill to white or unsetting the fill prints as expected, except the cell borders are not stroked (only the table's bounding box).

I can't be entirely certain not having the original PgS document (the postscript output was provided by Trond Einar Garmo), but several of the postscript output pages could not be rendered completely -- apparently because of problematic rendering of tables. Here's a snip of the relevant code:

the problem appears to be the "<0000000000000000>P " pieces. The error generated is:

This is caused by (an indirect) call to patternpath. Specifically, the line with "pathbbox" in that function is where the fault occurs.

Delete the "<0000000000000000>P " and the postscript can render.
