Created attachment 66651 [details] [review] Update fill and stroke color in CairoOutputDev::startPage The problem occurs because in CairoOutputDev.cc, the current fill color is kept in two variables: fill_pattern and fill_color. CairoOutputDev::updateFillColor checks if fill_color has changed before updating fill_pattern. But in CairoOutputDev::startPage, fill_pattern is set to black without updating fill_color. When fill_color and fill_pattern become desynchronized, updateFillColor may fail to update fill_pattern, leaving the pattern black. The same is true for the stroke_pattern and stroke_color variables, but I have not seen any problem caused by that. Attached patch fixes this problem by updating fill_color and stroke_color in startPage, to keep them in sync with fill_pattern and stroke_pattern.
Sorry for the delay reviewing this too, patch pushed to git master, thank you very much.
