Bugs item #4317, was opened at 2010-08-25 15:47 Status: Open Priority: 3 Submitted By: Heiko Oberdiek (oberdiek) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: \pdfstartlink node doesn't show its node contents Category: Primitives Group: None Resolution: None 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{}
