Bugs item #4317, was opened at 2010-08-25 13:47 Status: Open Priority: 3 Submitted By: Heiko Oberdiek (oberdiek) Assigned to: The Thanh Han (hanthethanh) Summary: \pdfstartlink node doesn't show its node contents Category: Primitives Group: None Resolution: Accepted Initial Comment: \showlists and \showbox are useful tools for debugging. However the node generated by \pdfstartlink does not show its children. Example for iniTeX or plain TeX: \catcode`\{=1 \catcode`\}=2 \pdfoutput=1 \hsize=100pt \parfillskip=0pt plus 1fil \showboxdepth=1000 \showboxbreadth=1000 \tracingonline=1 \setbox0=\hbox{% \pdfstartlink user{}% \vrule width 10pt height 10pt \pdfendlink }\showbox0 \noindent \vrule width 20pt height 20pt \hbox{\vrule width 30pt height 30pt}% \pdfstartlink user{}% \vrule width 40pt height 40pt \pdfendlink \par \showlists \end The output does not show the rule for 10pt and 40pt, e.g.
\box0= \hbox(10.0+0.0)x10.0 .\pdfstartlink(*+*)x* action user{}

Message: many thanks Heiko, patch applied to stable. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Heiko Oberdiek (oberdiek) Date: 2010-08-26 03:28 Message: The analysis of the sources revealed that inside the case pdf_start_link_node inside <Display the whatsit...> an errornous `return' occurs, if the action is `user'. The fix replaces the `return' by an else branch for the other action cases. I try to add the patch file right here to avoid the overhead of a new patch item.
