Hi Asko,

Can you provide more details here please? Any time the various backends
behave differently then that's a bug in cairo. So we'd love to see what
code you used to get the incorrect results.

I don't know if the eralier result was wrong or not. I'd have to see the
code you used and the result you got.

But yes, if the SVG result is repeating even with the default
CAIRO_EXTEND_NONE then that would be a bug. Of course, this could either
be a bug in cairo outputting something incorrect into an SVG file. Or it
could even be e bug in an SVG viewer incorrectly rendering something
cairo asked for, (such things have been known to happen before).

We'll definitely look forward to more details from you,

-Carl
