Thanks.  I'll test this as soon as I get a chance.  It would also be
worthwhile to port any new features added to the legacy rendering to the
new OpenGL/Cairo rendering using the new tool framework.  I think its a
good idea at this point in our stable release plan to make that a policy
until the stable release.  I know it's extra work but I think it would
be in the best interest of the project to have as much feature parity
between the legacy rendering and GAL rendering modes as possible.

Best Regards,

Wayne
