This is an issue with polylines.

In 5.0 you cannot even select a item having a negative line width.

This is an issue with very large negative values ( a value = -1 does not
create this issue) for line width.

I just committed a workaround for this issue.

This is a workaround because you cannot (currently) edit items with a
negative line thickness.

A full fix is a bit more complex, because items with background fill
must be drawn on the background at least the filled area), and all other
items on top, after the background fill, in any case (for instance when
moving/placing an object in libedit).

I know Jeff has already worked on this problem, so because he has a
better knowledge of priority drawings, I'll leave it fix this issue (if
he agree, of course)
