connections printed well but exported badly

Summary:

Connections (tool 'o') between objects get funny/incorrect when exporting the drawing to PDF.

Printing into a PDF, however, leaves the connections intact.

More specifically, a direct connection will be shown right, but a connection that goes around an object will be shown as a direct connection

Steps to reproduce:

  • open Inkscape
  • create objects A, B and C so that B is sandwiched between A and C
  • use the connection tool to connect A with C
  • click on B and activate the "avoid" feature so that the connection runs around B instead of over it
  • export the drawing to PDF with "save a copy as…" (connectors1.pdf)
  • print the drawing into a file (connectors2.pdf)

What happened?

In connectors1.pdf, the connection runs over object B

In connectors2.pdf the connection correctly circumvents object B

What should have happened?

In connectors2-pdf, the connection runs around object B
