    Hi Mikael,

    I don't have a solution for the problem, but if you create
    a bug at http://bugzilla.abisource.com/ and attach the image,
    then someone can attempt to reproduce the problem and we
    can fix it from there. Your explanation of the image will
    be useful information for anyone attempting to reproduce or
    fix the problem, so please include it in the bug report.

    Cheers - Stephen.
