SubscribeHatch Island Detection is incorrect when hatching around MTEXT entities
Under certain circumstances, the hatch command’s island detection feature does not work when mtext entities are contained within the area to be hatched.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create two mtext objects with this text (include a return after each word): test centered text
2. Set the width on both mtext objects to 0.
3. Change the first mtext object to be middle centered justified.
4. Edit the second mtext object:
5. Select All
6. Select the “Center” icon on the Text Formatting toolbar
7. Both mtext objects look the same at this point.
8. Draw a rectangle around each mtext object.
9. Hatch inside each rectangle (allowing island detection).
10. While the island detected around the middle justified text is correct, the border around the center justified text is incorrect.
Workarounds:
Either use middle justified mtext entities or do not use zero with mtext entities.
First Appeared: Unknown. Bug didn’t exist in 2004, but is easily reproducible in AutoCAD 2008.
Status as of 2008SP1: Still reproducible
